1. The lactose operon is controlled by both lactose and glucose. Fill in the following table to indicate what would be occurring under different cellular conditions Lactose absent present absent present Glucose Operon Activity (high/low) absent absent present present low high 10W high CAMP Repressor (bound/free) (high/low) bound free buind will high high low CAP (bound/free) bound free full
1. A strain of E. coli is genetically engineered in which the lacZ and lacY removed and replaced with a gene encoding a fluorescent protein. In addition, scientist produced a partial diploid E. coli strain, i.e. bacteria that have one full copy of the lac operon in their chromosome plus another copy of the lac operon in a plasmid. The modified bacteria have the follow genetic components: genes are One copy of the operon in which the protein product fluoresces green is inserted into the bacteria chromosome One copy of the operon in which the protein product fluoresces red is inserted into a plasmid. Both copies of the lac operon carry one copy of wild-type Promoter (lacP) and Operator (lacO) cis-acting DNA sequences. The modified bacteria have only one copy of the lacI repressor gene in their chromosomes. The lac operon in the plasmid doesn't have the lacI gene. If both fluorescent proteins are expressed, the cells fluoresce yellow and if neither of the fluorescent proteins is…
1. (a) Lactose levels are high Lac Operon Genes are switched OFF Lac Operon Genes are switched ON Does NOT affect the gene expression (b) Enhancer and activator proteins are working together Gene is switched ON Gene is switched OFF Does NOT affect the gene expression
1. Draw a diagram of the lac operon. PO I+P+O+Z+Y+ I+P+OcZ+Y- I-P+O+Z+Y+ Lab section (circle): lacz gene lac Y gene lacA gene I+P+O+ZY/IPO+Z+Y- 2. The promoter (P) is the start site of transcription through the binding of RNA polymerase before actual mRNA production. Mutated promoters (P) cannot bind RNA polymerase, so no mRNA is made. In the table below, make predictions about the expression of ß-galactosidase and permease for different partial diploid (F') genotypes. Do this for E. coli growth on two different types of media - one without lactose, and one with. Use a to mark where there is no enzyme produced, and a + to mark where the enzyme is made. The first genotype has all wild-type alleles, and has been filled in as an example. Genotype IPOCZ+Y/I-P+O+Z-Y+ ISP+O+Z+Y/I+P+O+Z*Y* CR 1:00 Lactose absent B-galactosidase Permease R 3:-00 + R 6:30 Lactose present B-galactosidase F 10:00 Permease
1. Assuming that the level of glucose is low, a mutation in the repressor associated with the lac operon of E. coli which prevents binding of the repressor to lactose should result in: a. constitutive expression of the lac operon genes b. lack of expression or refuced expression of the lac operon genes under all circumstances c. expression of the genes only when lactose is present d. expression of the genes only when lactose is absent e. lack of expression of the lac operon genes, resulting in an increase in lactose production
