If E. coli were subjected to high levels of lactose and low levels of glucose, which of the following conditions would apply? Y = yes, N = no

A) lac repressor would be bound to the operator of the lac operon promoter

B) CAP protein would be bound to the CAP binding site adjacent to the lac operon promoter

C) cAMP levels would be low

D) the lac operon would be actively expressing the operon into separate mRNA molecules needed to synthesize the enzymes required for lactose metabolism

E) the trp operon would be necessarily activated.

Answer #1

A) No

When lactose is present then it binds to lac repressor to mak repressor inactive so repressor cannot binds to operator.

B) Yes

When Glucose conc is low, then cAMP conc is high which binds to CAP protein and both complex bings to promote region

C) No

Low glucose cannot degrades cAMP

D) Yes

When lactose is present and glucose is low conc or absent,lac operon switch on and synthesize mRNA

E) No

Lac operon has no connection with tryp operon as trp operon is for amino acid synthesis.

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.) the...

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,...

A theoretical operon (amo) in E. coli contains several structural genes encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of a particular amino acid. Unlike the lac operon, in which the repressor gene is separate from the operon itself, for the amo operon, the repressor gene is found within the operon itself. When the end product amino acid is present, it binds to the repressor, and this complex binds to the operator, repressing the operon. In the absence of the amino acid,...

The lac repressor is inactive and the CAP protein is active, so the operon is transcribed D. The lac...

The lactose repressor regulates expression of a set of genes for lactose metabolism, which are adjacent to its binding site on the bacterial chromosome. In the absence of lactose in the medium, the binding of the repressor turns the genes off. When lactose is added, an inducer is generated that binds to the repressor, preventing it from binding to its DNA target, thereby turning off gene expression. Inside E. coli, there are about 10 molecules of lactose repressor (10E-8 M)...

For this question, we focus on four parts: I, the gene that produces the repressor protein; P, the promoter region where RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription; O, the Operator site, where the repressor binds. When the repressor binds, it prevents transcription; and ZYA, the three structural genes, all of which are required for the successful utilization of lactose as a food source. In the left column of the table below, we indicate the genetic composition at the lac operon...
