In your own words describe in detail what happens at the lac operon in each of the following situations Lactose, no glucose (high cAMP) No lactose or glucose (high cAMP) Lactose and glucose (low cAMP) Glucose, no lactose (low cAMP)
1) A. What is the difference between a repressible vs, an inducible operon? B. Using diagrams and words, describe how the Lac Operon is regulated by different levels of lactose and glucose. Be sure to show what’s happening at the molecular level, including the roles of lactose, glucose the repressor protein, cAMP and CAP.
Consider the following scenario: A bacteria cell is surrounded by lactose, but there is no glucose readily available. Will the lac operon be active (on) or inactive (off)? Explain in your own words. If it is active, describe the levels (low or high) of transcription, and any positive regulators assisting with this. If it is inactive, describe the negative regulators assisting with this, and how the operon could be turned on. Question 48 options:
Strain LOLZ has a mutation in the lacI gene that results in a lacI protein that cannot bind allolactose. Otherwise all other parts of the operon are functional. 1. Can strain LOLZ metabolize lactose if it is present? 2. If lactose is absent, will strain LOLZ transcribe its lac operon? 3. If lactose is present, will strain LOLZ transcribe its lac operon?
Please help me iwht this question explain how the regulation of the Lac Operon incorporate both negative and positive regulation?
You are growing E. coli in a laboratory in order to study their operons. The growth media you are using contains lactose, no glucose and no tryptophan. Using your knowledge of operons and their regulation a.Which operons would be functional under these conditions? b.What repressors would be made? (NOTE: name the repressors using their gene names) c.Which repressor(s) would be made in the inactive form? d.Which repressor(s) would be made in the active form? e.Which repressor(s) under these conditions can bind the operator sequence? f.Which repressor(s)under these conditions cannot bind the operator sequence?
The lac operon has 4 genes, I, Z, Y and A. For each scenario, tell me the result of the mutation, what would happen if this mutant was in the presence of lactose and why. A) Lac I is mutated/not functional - B) Lac Y is mutated/not functional -
For the E. coli lac operon, when lactose is present: a. and glucose is absent, cAMP binds and activates catabolicactivator protein (CAP). b. and glucose is absent, the level of cAMP decreases. c. activated CAP binds the repressor protein to remove it from the operator gene. d. the cell prefers lactose over glucose. e. RNA polymerase cannot bind to the promoter.
INTERPRET DATA Develop a simple hypothesis that would explain the behavior of each of the following types of mutants in E. coli. Mutant a: The map position of this mutation is in the trp operon. The mutant cells are constitutive; that is, they produce all the enzymes coded for by the trp operon, even if large amounts of tryptophan are present in the growth medium. Mutant b: The map position of this mutation is in the trp operon. The mutant cells do not produce any enzymes coded for by the trp operon under any conditions. Mutant c: The map position of this mutation is some distance from the trp operon. The mutant cells are constitutive; that is, they produce all the enzymes coded for by the trp operon, even if the growth medium contains large amounts of tryptophan.
A mutation that inactivates the repressor gene of the lac operon results in (a) the continuous transcription of the structural genes (b) no transcription of the structural genes (c) the binding of the repressor to the operator (d) no production of RNA polymerase (e) no difference in the rate of transcription
What is lac operon system? Please answer at your own words.
A constitutive mutation in the lac operon may be of several types. [Note that constitutive means that the structural genes are always expressed, even if lactose is absent.] Name two types of constitutive mutations.
