For the Lac operon:
a. What Is the regulator protein, ligand and DNA sequences involved for each of the three types of regulation? The three types are negative inducible, positive inducible and catabolite repression.
b. How does the presence of glucose result in the lac operon being shut off?
Homework Answers
Answer #1
ANSWER....a.
Regulator Protein:- The regulatory gene(i gene) produces an mRNA that translates a repressor protein.
Repressible Protein can bind to the operator region of the lac operon. If it bind to operator region then structural gene stop the function of coding for necessary enzyme..
ANSWER ....b.
High Glucose Levels shut down the lac Operon
If Glucose present, lactose absent;
No transcription of the structural gene occurs. because the repressor protein bind the operator receptor and it prevent transcription further.

1. The lac operon in E. coli
comprises three structural genes, lac Z, lacY,
and lacA. It is regulated by both positive and negative
mechanisms, involving binding of both a repressor protein and the
catabolite activator protein (CAP). Transcription of the operon
gives a polycistronic mRNA encoding the three enzymes. Under the
following nutritional conditions, indicate whether or not the
repressor and the CAP are bound by drawing them in on the
appropriate regions of the operon. Indicate, as well,...

The lac operon in E. coli regulates the co-expression of three
genes needed for the degradation of lactose (but absence of
glucose) in the growth medium. These genes are not expressed when
the bacteria has no lactose to feed on. How does the cell prevent
expressing the lac operon in the absence of lactose? How does the
presence of lactose activate the transcription of these three
genes? (You do not need to explain the glucose level
regulation.)

1. The lac operon responds to lactose and glucose. If wild-type
E. coli cells are grown in media that contains both
lactose and glucose, they will consume the glucose first because:
(select all that apply)
A.)
the lac repressor remains bound to lacO, preventing the lac
operon from being expressed at maximal levels
B.)
the permease (lacY) is not expressed in the presence of
glucose, preventing lactose from entering the cell and being
converted to allolactose, the inducer
C.)

In the absence of glucose E. coli can metabolize and grow on
arabinose, a pentose sugar, using an inducible set of genes that
are arranged in three groups on the chromosome (Fig shown). In one
of these the araA, araB, andaraD genes encode enzymes for the
metabolism of arabinose while the araC gene encodes a regulatory
protein that binds adjacent to arabinose promoters and coordinates
the expression of the genes in the arabinose operon. The other two
groups of genes...
