- 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 answerIf 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?If the above gene is one of the three structural genes of the lac operon that codes for the protein/ enzyme responsible for breaking lactose into two molecules of simple sugars, what triggers the activation of this gene? a. Absence of Inhibitory protein b. Presence of lactose c. Absence of lactose d. Presence of Inhibitory protein e. Absence of Regulatory protein
- Under what conditions would you expect to see high levels of expression of the structural genes in the lac operon? Group of answer choices Lactose is absent and glucose is absent Lactose is absent and glucose is present Lactose is present and glucose is present None of these Lactose is present and glucose is absentIf glucose levels in the cell are high and 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?You then make a screen to identify potential mutants (shown as * in the diagram) that are able to constitutively activate Up Late operon in the absence of Red Bull and those that are not able to facilitate E. Coli growth even when fed Red Bull. You find that each class of mutations localize separately to two separate regions. For those mutations that prevent growth even when fed Red Bull are all clustered upstream of the core promoter around -50 bp. For those mutations that are able to constitutively activate the operon in the absence of Red Bull are all located between the coding region of sleep and wings. Further analysis of each DNA sequence shows that the sequence upstream of the promoter binds the protein wings and the region between the coding sequence of sleep and wings binds the protein sleep. When the DNA sequence of each is mutated, the ability to bind DNA is lost. Propose a final method of gene regulation of the Up Lateoperon using an updated drawn figure of the Up Late…
- Describe the probable genetic defect that abolishes the sensitivity of the lac operon to the absence of glucose when other metabolic operons continue to be sensitive to the absence of glucose.The lac operon consists of regulatory regions such as the promoter as well as the structural genes lacZ, lacY, and lacA, which code for proteins involved in lactose metabolism. What would be the outcome of a mutation in lacA?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)?
