A mutation occurs in the operator of the Lac Operon. Because of this mutation, the Lac Repressor is unable to bind to the operator. If a bacterial cell contained this mutation, would the Lac operon be transcribed at a high rate (be on) or off under the following conditions:
Write on or off in the blank next to each of the conditions.
- + glucose + lactose ________
- + glucose - lactose ________
- - glucose + lactose ________
- - glucose - lactose ________
Homework Answers
lactose is an inducer of lac operon. Lac repressor binds to the lac operator and inhibit the lac operon in the absence of the inducer, if inducer is present lac repressor cannot bind to the lac operator.
glucose regulate the expression of the lac operator, in the presence of glucose lac operon is inhibited and in the absence of glucose lac operon is expressed at higher levels.
Here the lac operator is mutated such that lac repressor cannot inhibit the lac operon in the absence of lactose, so even in if lactose is absent this lac operon is expressed at very low levels.
In the absence of glucose the lac operon is expressed at higher levels.
- + glucose + lactose- Off
- + glucose - lactose- Off
- - glucose + lactose- On
- - glucose - lactose - On

The lac operon contains a DNA sequence known as the lac promoter (P or P+ for wild type; P– for mutant (RNA polymerase does not bind)) that serves as the RNA polymerase binding site. The lac operon also contains a DNA sequence known as the Lac operator (O or O+ for wild type; O– or Oc for mutant (lac repressor cannot bind)) which is the binding site for lac repressor. The lac repressor, a protein, is encoded by the lac...

The Lac operon is an inducible set of genes found in bacteria cells that helps the bacteria to metabolize the disaccharide lactose. When it is turned on it produces proteins that pump lactose into the bacteria cell and break it down into glucose and galactose, which can then be used by the bacteria as a source of energy The two figures below show the Lac Operon along with the lacl gene (which regulates the Lac operon...

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...

you grow E.coli that have a mutation in their Operator gene (O) so that the operon is constitutively active. what would happen when this mutant is grown in media that contains glucose, but not lactose? select all answers!! A- the repressor would change shape B- the repressor would bind the operator c- the structural genes would be transcribed D- RNA polymerase would bind the promoter

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...
