Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: Whether the Z gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose and in the absence of lactose for the given strain: I+P+O+Z+.
Introduction: The lac operon or the lactose operon is a cluster of common-promoter genes that is found in E. coli and helps in transporting and digesting lactose. By analyzing the lac operon of various mutants of E. coli through genetic analysis, a lot of information has been gained. The lac operon of E. coli is an inducible operon.

- RNA transcription reach low error rate under non-equilibrium steady state, what is the energy source to drive transcription ?arrow_forwardTrue or False? Eukaryotic genomes are organized into operons; each operon consists of a series of genes which code for enzymes involved in a metabolic pathway, under the transcriptional control of a single promoter sequence .arrow_forwardMutation identity- GLY Outline the effects the mutation of cysteine with GLY on the 3D structure and function of the 3GRS glucathione reducatse protein.arrow_forward
- Suggest a reasonable strategy for the specific phosphorylation of the5’ –OH group of a nucleoside.arrow_forwardBinding of --------- identifies the decoding center of the ribosome.arrow_forward35. The genes shown are from the lac operon system of E.coli. The symbols a, b and c represent the repressor (I) gene, the operator (O) region, and the structural gene (Z) for β-galactosidase, although not in that order. Furthermore, the symbols written in the genotypes are not necessarily the actual sequence in the lac operon.arrow_forward
- True/False: In general, weak promoters that support active transcription have -10 and -35 boxes that are close to the consensus sequences and a spacer between the two boxes that is 17 +/- 1 bp.arrow_forwardMolecular detail of spike Y453Farrow_forwardUsing threonyl-tRNA synthetase as an example, account for the specificity of threonyl-tRNA formation.arrow_forward
- How many ATP and GTP molecules would be hydrolyzed in the synthesis of a 125 amino acid protein? Explain why this is a good argument for careful regulation of gene expression (especially considering that most proteins are larger than 125 amino acids).arrow_forward15. Cellular proteins are oftentimes post-translationally modified. Choose one of the following PTMs: N-linked glycosylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, or GPI-anchor. Clearly indicate your choice, then address the following: (a) How is the PTM attached to the protein of interest? At which amino acid residue(s)? What enzyme(s) is involved, if any? (b) Is the PTM relatively stable or highly dynamic? Explain. How does the PTM become detached from the protein of interest? What enzyme(s) is involved, if any? (c) What is the function of the PTM? Provide one specific example.arrow_forwardNeed help, please.
