Predict the phenotype of a lac Y mutant, which is a mutation in the gene for lactose permease.
a. The lac genes would be expressed efficiently only in the absence of lactose.
b. The lac genes would be expressed efficiently until the lactose supply already in the cell is exhausted.
c. The lac genes would be expressed continuously.
d. Expression of the lac genes would cease immediately.
Homework Answers
The correct answer is:
b. The lac genes would be expressed efficiently until the lactose supply already in the cell is exhausted.
Lactose cannot enter cell if there is no lactose permease as because the lactose permease is involved with the transport of lactose into the cell through the cell membrane

Briefly explain your answers to the following questions. A mutation (Mutation A) in the lac operon of E. coli leads to an inability to ferment lactose, and the expression of the operon is always off. Introduction into the mutant of an F' factor containing the wild type lac operon does NOT restore the ability to ferment lactose, i.e., there is no expression of the operon from the plasmid either. a. What is the probable nature of Mutation A? Is the...

Lactose (or rather, its derivative allolactose) can lift the Lac Repressor protein from the Operator site in DNA, thus allowing for expression of the genes coded by the Lac Operon. However, lactose cannot cross the bacterial cell membrane without the help of the Permease protein channel, which is coded by the lacY gene in the Lac Operon. So, it appears that we have a case of "what's first, the chicken or the egg?" - how can lactose enter the cell...

You have systematically mutagenized the lac operon in E. coli to produce a mutation that disrupts the function of each of the following elements: a. the promoter for LacI (P(I)) b. the LacI gene c. CRP binding site d. the promoter for the lac operon (P(lac)) e. the operator sequence f. a mutation in lacZ that disrupts the coding region but does not disrupt transcription g. a mutation in lacZ that blocks transcription For each of the above mutations, what...

The Lac operon is an inducible set of genes found in bacteria cells that helps the bacteria to metabolize the disaccharide lactose. When it is turned on it produces proteins that pump lactose into the bacteria cell and break it down into glucose and galactose, which can then be used by the bacteria as a source of energy The two figures below show the Lac Operon along with the lacl gene (which regulates the Lac operon...

Three different strains of E. coli carry a mutation in the lac operon and/or laci gene. The production of B-galactosidase (+ present or - absent) is measured when lactose is present and absent from the medium. Assume the mutations involve only 1, 0, or Z. A merodiploid is constructed for each of the three strains. The plasmid carries a wild type lac operon and lacl gene. The production of functional B-galactosidase (+ present or - absent) is measured when lactose...
