Distinguish between induced and repressible forms of operon. Discuss your answer in example of each type
Operons may be inducible or repressible
The molecule is called an inducer and the operon is said to be inducible.
For example, the lac operon is an inducible operon that encodes enzymes for metabolism of the sugar lactose. It turns on only when the sugar lactose is present (and other, preferred sugars are absent).A gene system often encoding a coordinated group of enzymes involved in a catabolic pathway, is inducible if an early metabolite in the pathway causes activation, usually by interaction with and inactivation of a repressor of transcription of the genes encoding the enzymes.
The lac operon is an operon, or group of genes with a single promoter (transcribed as a single mRNA). The genes in the operon encode proteins that allow the bacteria to use lactose as an energy source. The lactose operon (lac operon) is an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in E.coli and many other enteric bacteria. Although glucose is the preferred carbon source for most bacteria, the lac operon allows for the effective digestion of lactose when glucose is not available through the activity of beta-galactosidase. Bacterial operons are polycistronic transcripts that are able to produce multiple proteins from one mRNA transcript. In this case, when lactose is required as a sugar source for the bacterium, the three genes of the lac operon can be expressed and their subsequent proteins translated: lacZ, lacY, and lacA. The gene product of lacZ is β-galactosidase which cleaves lactose, a disaccharide, into glucose and galactose. lacY encodes Beta-galactoside permease, a membrane protein which becomes embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane to enable the cellular transport of lactose into the cell. Finally, lacA encodes Galactoside acetyltransferase.It would be wasteful to produce enzymes when no lactose is available or if a preferable energy source such as glucose were available. The lac operon uses a two-part control mechanism to ensure that the cell expends energy producing the enzymes encoded by the lac operon only when necessary.In the absence of lactose, the lac repressor, lacI, halts production of the enzymes encoded by the lac operon.[3] The lac repressor is always expressed, unless a co-inducer binds to it. In other words, it is transcribed only in the presence of small molecule co-inducer. In the presence of glucose, the catabolite activator protein (CAP), required for production of the enzymes remains inactive and EIIAGlc shuts down lactose permease to prevent transport of lactose into the cell. This dual control mechanism causes the sequential utilization of glucose and lactose in two distinct growth phases, known as diauxie.
Repressible operon
Other operons are usually "on," but can be turned "off" by a small molecule. The molecule is called a corepressor, and the operon is said to be repressible. For example, the trp operon is a repressible operon that encodes enzymes for synthesis of the amino acid tryptophan.Discovered in 1953 by Jacques Monod and colleagues, the trp operon in E. coli was the first repressible operon to be discovered. While the lac operon can be activated by a chemical (allolactose), the tryptophan (Trp) operon is inhibited by a chemical (tryptophan). This operon contains five structural genes: trp E, trp D, trp C, trp B, and trp A, which encodes tryptophan synthetase. It also contains a promoter which binds to RNA polymerase and an operator which blocks transcription when bound to the protein synthesized by the repressor gene (trp R) that binds to the operator. In the lac operon, lactose binds to the repressor protein and prevents it from repressing gene transcription, while in the trp operon, tryptophan binds to the repressor protein and enables it to repress gene transcription. Also unlike the lac operon, the trp operon contains a leader peptide and an attenuator sequence which allows for graded regulation.This is an example of the corepressible model.
