In the regulation of the tryophan operon in bacteria, the co-occurence of transcription and translation plays a key role regulating full activation of operon expression. Diagram and explain how during the conditions of high tryptophan concentration this system regulates the expression of genes in the operon.

Describe how the components of the trp operon system are affected by a mutation in trpC? Why is it that once enviornmental tryptophan is inserted into the cell, only the trp repressor is activated (turned on)?
In the lac operon (below), how will expression of the genes lacZ and lacy be effect by a mutation in the repressor protein (encoded by lach) that prevents it from binding the operator sequence (lacO) in the absence of lactose? Explain the answer
Explain how the trp operon is regulated by trp repressor and by attenuation.
If β-galactosidase is expressed when lactose is absent, what does this suggest about the lac operon? a) There is a mutation in the repressor protein b) There is a mutation in the catabolite activator protein c) There is a mutation in the promoter region d) There is a mutation in the luxI protein
Mutations may have an effect on the expression of the lac operon and the trp operon. Would the following mutations have a cis- or transeffect on the expression of the protein-encoding genes in the operon? A. A mutation in the operator site that prevents lac repressor from binding to it B. A mutation in the lacI gene that prevents lac repressor from binding to DNA C. A mutation in the trpL gene that prevents attenuation
If glucose is not available, but lactose is available from the environment, what is the status of transcription of the lac operon genes? Explain your answer from both an evolutionary perspective and in terms of negative and positive regulation of the operon?
. a. How many ribosomes are required (at a minimum)for the translation of trpE and trpC from a singletranscript of the trp operon?b. How would you expect deletion of the two tryptophan codons in the RNA leader to affect theexpression of the trpE and trpC genes?
Which reaction normally happens in the regulation of the trp operon when high levels of tryptophan are present?
The TRP operon functions by attenuation. Briefly explain how attenuation works and why it is necessary, in addition to the repressor protein, in regulating the operon.
In the lac operon system, do the inducers act at the transcription or translation level? Explain why it acts in that level in a short but concise way.
If CAP is bound to the Promoter of the Lac Operon and the repressor protein is not bound to the operator, which of the following is true: a.Glucose Levels are low & Lactose is absent b.Glucose is absent & Lactose is present c.cAMP is low & Lactose is Absent d.Glucose and Lactose are Present e.cAMP is low & Lactose is present
Given the Table below concerning the lac operon, match the letter with what would be occurring for each scenario. Repressor is bound to the operator, cAMP complex is bound and transcription is prevented. Allolactose is bound to the repressor, cAMP complex is bound, and transcription is prevalent. Allolactose is bound to the repressor, cAMP complex is not assembled, and transcription is slow Repressor is bound to the operator, cAMP complex is not assembled, and transcription is prevented.
