A mutation occurs in the lac operon operator site such that LacI can no longer bind to the operator site. The effect that this mutation has on the cell is that a. the activity of the lac operon will not be affected. b. the cell can no longer convert lactose to glucose. c. the expression of the lac genes cannot be turned off. d. the expression of the lac genes cannot be turned on.
a. What is the function of operons in bacterial gene regulation? b. Describe how a bacterial operon can be regulated by repressible proteins (such as the tryptophan operon). Include in your description both the “on” and “off” states of the operon. Key elements of your diagram should include: Co-repressor, Genes, mRNA, Operator, Operon, Promoter, Repressor, RNA polymerase.
Gene expression in bacteria is controlled by the operon model. a) Why is the operon model important? b) Why is the trp operon known as a repressible operon?
In the trp operon, if a mutation occurred in the gene for the repressor so that it could bind to the operator even in the absence of tryptophan____________. a) the inducer cannot bind trpO, so operon gene transcription occurs b) the active repressor cannot bind trpO, so operon gene transcription is attenuated c)the active repressor binds tpO, so operon gene transcription is always repressed d) the repressor binds the corepressor, and operon gene transcription occurs.
The lactose operon is likely to be transcribed when _____. A) there is more glucose in the cell than lactose B) there is glucose but no lactose in the cell C) the cAMP level is high and the lactose level is low D) the cyclic AMP and lactose levels are both high within the cell
The presence of glucose in the medium will lead to: a) increased cAMP concentrations and reduction of lac operon gene expression b) increased cAMP concentrations and promotion of lac operon gene expression c) reduced cAMP concentrations and reduction of lac operon gene expression d) reduced cAMP concentrations and promotion of lac operon gene expression
The gad operon is controlled by a number of transcription factors that regulate a promoter of approximately 450bp. Which would NOT explain why bacterial promoters are shorter than the typical eukaryotic promoter? a. Bacteria do not have nucleosomes b. Bacteria do not have mediator complex c. Each operon is regulated by only one signal d. All of the above are true
1. Assuming that the level of glucose is low, a mutation in the repressor associated with the lac operon of E. coli which prevents binding of the repressor to lactose should result in: a. constitutive expression of the lac operon genes b. lack of expression or refuced expression of the lac operon genes under all circumstances c. expression of the genes only when lactose is present d. expression of the genes only when lactose is absent e. lack of expression of the lac operon genes, resulting in an increase in lactose production
In the lac operon, the lac genes are transcribed in the presence of lactose because a RNA polymerase binds to the operator b The repressor can not bind the promoter c Production of the repressor protein is inducible d The inducer binds to the repressor e The inducer binds to the operator
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
What is the role of a substrate that controls a repressible operon? a. increase the production of inactive repressor proteins b. bind to the repressor protein and activate it c. bind to the repressor protein and deactivate it d. bind to the promoter region and decrease the affinity of RNA polymerase for the promoter
What would occur if the repressor of an inducible operon weremutated so it could not bind the operator?(A) irreversible binding of the repressor to the promoter(B) reduced transcription of the operon’s genes(C) buildup of a substrate for the pathway controlled by theoperon(D) continuous transcription of the operon’s genes
