The lac operon in E. coli is a well-studied gene system, and β-galactosidase (β-gal) is the product of the lacZ gene. The diploid conditions represent the addition of a plasmid carrying different components of the lac operon. Determine if β-gal will be generated under the conditions. Assume that glucose is absent. A + in the genotype indicates a functioning gene, while a – indicates a loss-of-function allele. The OC is an operator mutant that cannot bind the lacI protein. Use + to indicate that β-gal is synthesized, and - to indicate that the enzyme is not synthesized.

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...

In this problem you will explore how to solve problems involving partial diploid lac operon bacterial strains. Bacterial strains that are "partially diploid" have two copies of the lac operon because they aquired a plasmid carrying just the lac operon region. One copy of the lac operon region is on the recipient's bacterial chromosome, and the other copy is on the F' plasmid that was introduced into the cell by conjugation. Partial diploid genotypes are written with the F' segment...

Most of what we know about the lac operon in E. coli has come from the genetic analysis of various mutants. Below is a list of mutants for regions of the operon. A + superscript indicates no mutation and normal function of that region, - indicates a knock out and no function of that region, c indicates the mutation resulted in constitutive action of that region. The effect of the mutation is determined by expression of the lacZ gene as...

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 contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively.
The lac operon contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively. The operon also contains a promoter site and an operator site. The regulatory gene includes the I gene for the Lac repressor protein and a promoter for that gene.The lac operon undergoes negative regulation. In the normal condition, the Lac repressor protein is active. Allolactose, an isomer of lactose, is the signal molecule that binds to the Lac repressor. Determine which events...

You plate colonies of E. coli with the lac operon genotype of I+P+OCZ+CAP+ on 1) a medium containing only glucose, and 2) a medium containing only lactose. You isolate mRNA from bacteria from each medium and do a Northern blot with a probe for β-galactosidase. Draw the results.
