Answer #1

When E. coli cells are grown in the presence of high glucose and high lactose, the lac repressor is not bound to the lac operator, cAMP levels in the cell are low and CAP is mostly not bound to the CAP binding site in the lac promoter. Under these conditions transcription of lac operon is at low level.

When E. coli cells are grown in the absence of glucose and presence of high lactose, the lac repressor is not bound to the lac operator, cAMP levels in the cell are high and CAP is mostly bound to the CAP binding site in the lac promoter. Under these conditions transcription of lac operon is at high level.

    The gene machine program shows you what happens when lactose is present in E. coli, and how the lac operon is under negative control. However, the lac operon is also under positive control from a protein called CRP, eAMP Receptor Protein. The absence of the lac repressor is essential but not sufficient for effective transcription of the lac operon. RNA polymerase also depends on the presence of CRP. Like the lac repressor, which can bind to the DNA and lactose....

This specific blood type is an example of: A) multiple alleles B) epistasis C) codominance D) partial dominance Imagine the gene encoding the lac repressor was mutated so that lactose (more technically allolactose) no longer bound to the repressor. However, the lac repressor was still capable of binding DNA at the operator sequence....

    5. Jacob, Monod, and Pardee used various E.coli mutants to help determine how the lac operon is regulated. The descriptions of some of the mutants are listed. For each E. coli mutant determine if the lac operon would be on or off in a lactose-only environment. laci mutant: This mutant produces a super repressor that is not inactivated by allolactose. It will still stick. Operater will be off, lacO mutant: This mutant has an altered operator sequence so that the...

    26. The lac operon in E. coli consists of genes that code for enzymes necessary for the breakdown of lactose. When lactose is absent, the operon is inactive because a repressor protein binds to a specific site in the lac operon. When lactose is present, lactose molecules bind to the repressor protein, causing the repressor protein to dissociate from the binding site. In the absence of glucose (a preferred energy source for bacteria), the protein CAP binds to a regulatory...

    A. Describe in detail the regulation of the prokaryotic lac operon for the following environment: Glucose is present, lactose present, & the repressor protein is mutated such that the allosteric site is non-functional and can no longer bind its substrate. Be sure to specify the presence or absence and location of Lac I, allolactose, cAMP, CAP, and RNA polymerase. B. Indicate whether transcription is occurring at a basal level, a high level, or not at all.
