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.
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. − + − +
The molecules indicated below can be used experimentally due to their roles in relation to the expression of the lac operon. Drag the listed molecules to their corresponding bin. Reset Help ONPG IPTG X-Gal allolactose Dragable beta-galactosidase cleaves this molecule to form a visible yellow product. beta-galactosidase cleaves this molecule which then dimerizes to form a visible blue product. This molecule induces the transcription of the lac operon by inactivating the lac repressor.
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?
lacZ isn't expressed, in the presence and absence of glucose and lactose. What components of the lac operon could be mutated to produce this phenotype? all possibilities must be listed.
In a bacterial cell with the genotype I-: P+: O+: Z+: Y+: A+, which of the following expression patterns of the lac operon would you see? (All + signs designate functional units and - signs designate non-functional units) A. No expression of Z, Y and A under any environmental conditions. B. Z, Y and A would always be expressed. C. Z, Y and A would be expressed when lactose was present but not expressed if lactose is not present. D. Z, Y and A would be expressed in the absence of lactose, but not when lactose was present. E. None of the above.
A mutation in the repressor LacI causes it to lose the ability to bind its effector, allolactose. What will be the effect of this mutation in the presence of allolactose (assume glucose is absent)? a) LacI cannot bind to the lac operator (lacO) and transcription of the lac operon is blockedb) LacI is permanently bound to the lac operator (lacO) and transcription of the lac operon is blocked c) LacI cannot bind to the lac operator (lacO) and transcription of the lac operon increasesd) LacI is permanently bound to the lac operator (lacO) and transcription of the lac operon increases
Which of the following condition(s) is optimal for expression of the lac operon? I. low glucose and formation of CAP-cAMP complex II. high glucose resulting in no cAMP III. no lactose present and a functional repressor IV. presence of lactose binding to a functional repressor
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.
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?
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
Maltose utilization in E. coli requires the proteins encoded by genes in three different operons. One operonincludes the genes malE, malF, and malG; the secondincludes malK and lamB; and the genes in the thirdoperon are malP and malQ. The MalT protein is apositive regulator that controls the expression of allthree operons; expression of the malT gene itself iscatabolite sensitive.a. What phenotype would you expect to result from aloss-of-function mutation in the malT gene?b. Do you expect the three maltose operons to containbinding sites for CRP (cAMP receptor protein)?Why or why not?In order to infect E. coli, bacteriophage λ binds to themaltose transport protein LamB (also known as the λreceptor protein) that is found in the outer membraneof the bacterial cell. The synthesis of LamB is induced by maltose in the medium via expression of theMalT protein, as described above
