- 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?. Listed in parts a through g are some mutations that were found in the 5′ UTR of the trp operon of E. coli. What will the most likely effect of each of these mutations be on the transcription of the trp structural genes? Q. A mutation that changes the Trp codons in region 1 of the mRNA 5′ UTR into codons for alanineA strain of E. coli has the genotypes shown below at the lac operon, where I = regulator gene, P = promoter, O = operator, Z = βgalactosidase gene, and Y = permease gene. The superscript+ indicates a wild-type allele,c indicates a constitutive mutation, and− indicates a defective mutation. For each genotype, indicate whether the enzyme will be synthesized or not synthesized when lactose is present or absent by placing a + for synthesis occurring and a − for synthesis not occurring in the appropriate blank. Explain your reasoning for each answer.
- What experimental results would indicate that the mutation lacISlacIS is dominant to lacI+lacI+? In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a repressed state in the absence of lactose. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a constitutive state in the absence of the repressor. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in an activated state in the presence of lactose. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a repressed state in the absence of the repressor. In lacISlacIS/lacI+lacI+ partial diploids, the lac operon is in a repressed state in the presence of lactose.Suppose you have six strains of E. coli. One is wildtype, and each of the other five has a single one of thefollowing mutations: lacZ−, lacY−, lacI−, oc, andlacIS. For each of these six strains, describe thephenotype you would observe using the following assays. [Notes: (1) IPTG is a colorless synthetic molecule that acts as an inducer of lac operon expressionbut cannot serve as a carbon source for bacterialgrowth because it cannot be cleaved byβ-galactosidase; (2) X-gal cannot serve as a carbonsource for growth; (3) E. coli requires active lactosepermease (the product of lacY) to allow lactose,X-gal, or IPTG into the cells.] Colony color in medium containing glycerol as theonly carbon source and X-gal, but no IPTG.d. Colony color in medium containing high levels ofglucose as the only carbon source, X-gal, andIPTG.e. Colony color in medium containing high levels ofglucose as the only carbon source and X-gal, butno IPTG. Suppose you have six strains of E. coli.

- . Listed in parts a through g are some mutations that were found in the 5′ UTR of the trp operon of E. coli. What will the most likely effect of each of these mutations be on the transcription of the trp structural genes? Q. A mutation that prevents the binding of the ribosome to the 5′ end of the mRNA 5′ UTRIf 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?
- The symbols A, B, C, D, E represent all the components of the lac operon, excluding LacA. The symbols are not in the order of the lac operon. Minus and plus signs represent activity of lacZ or LacY in the absence or presence of IPTG. LacI+ or LacI-, and LacO+ or LacOC alleles were used. Which of the symbols represents each of the lac operon components?Give all possible genotypes of a lac operon that produces, or fails to produce, β-galactosidase and permease under the following conditions. Do not give partial-diploid genotypes. Lactose absent Lactose present β-Galactosidase Permease β-Galactosidase Permease a. − − + + b. − − − + c. − − + − d. + + + + e. − − − − f. + − + − g. − + − +If 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?
