How do you expect a null mutation in the cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) would affect the lac operon in the presence and absence of glucose?
If null mutation is present a functional CRP can not be synthesized. In the absence of glucose the function of CRP is to activate transcription of operon genes. Now due to null mutation even though glucose is absent the protein will not bind to DNA and transcription of the operon can not be activated. So in the presence of glucose, no transcription of operon because glucose prevents binding of CRP at promoter but due to mutation even though glucose is absent transcription will not occur.
So no transcription of at all in either case

The gene machine program shows you what happens when lactose is present in E. coli, and how the lac operon is under negative control. However, the lac operon is also under positive control from a protein called CRP, eAMP Receptor Protein. The absence of the lac repressor is essential but not sufficient for effective transcription of the lac operon. RNA polymerase also depends on the presence of CRP. Like the lac repressor, which can bind to the DNA and lactose....
1. You are interested in how
cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) functions to affect
learning and memory, and you decide to study its function in the
brain. It is known that, in the cells you are studying, PKA works
via a signal transduction pathway like the one depicted in Figure
16-15. Furthermore, it is also known that activated PKA
phosphorylates the transcriptional regulator called Nerd that then
activates transcription of the gene Brainy. Which, if any
of the situations described...
A. Which strain is the wild-type E.coli? Explain how you know
this.
B. Which strain contains the nonsense mutation in the CRP
protein gene? Explain how you know this.
C. Which strain contains the deletion mutation in the lac operon
operator sequence? Explain how you know this.
knowledge about the lac operon system AND knowledge Problem set about the Lac operon (these problems require knowledge about the lac operon system AND about consequences of mutations) You are working with three...
Lac I ( Gene)- non functional cannot bind the inducer How does it affect in the presence of lactose? How does it affect in absence of lactose? Lac Z( protein)- Wipeout mutation How does it affect in the presence of lactose? How does it affect in absence of lactose?
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...
Lac Operon Homework . Unanswered How would a mutation in the lacy gene effect the lac operon o A There would be normal levels of lac operon expression O B There would be over expression of the lac operon because it would not be repressible O C There would be under expression of the lac operon because of the absence of the inducer Unanswered
3. Mutations in bacteria that affect gene regulation may have a cis- or trans-effect on the expression of the protein-encoding genes in an operon? How would the following mutations affect the expression of the lac operon? Assume there could be more than one lac operon in the cell and that no glucose is present. A. A mutation in the operator site that prevents the lac repressor from binding. B. A mutation in the lacI gene that prevents allolactose from binding,...
Please can someone help me out with the predictions.
Experiment: This “lab" will examine how disruption (mutation) of parts of a signaling pathway affect the results of activating that pathway. Specifically you will examine the effect of a factor on cell division in normal a cells ( WT- wild type) AND examine the effect of mutations that block the function of: 1. The a factor receptor (STE2 yeast) 2. The cell arrest factor (FAR1 yeast) Wild Type STE mutation FAR...
For this assignment you will complete an illustration(s) (by hand) of how the lac operon works. You should be sure to include details in your drawing such as the names of relevant structural genes (lac Z and lac Y) and controlling sequences (operator, promoter, repressor). 1. Show the influence of lactose (in the form of allolactose) on the repressor protein. 2. Show what effect the primary structural genes have on lactose. 3. Show how glucose levels can influence the expression...
consider a strain of E. coli that has a mutation in the gene encoding the IIA protein of the phosphotransferase system. The transport and phosphorylation of glucose is not affected by this mutation and the phosphate group is transferred to glucose as in the wildtype strain. Also, the interaction between the mutant IIA protein and Lacy is not affected by the mutation. However, the mutation does affect the IIA protein's interactions with adenylate cyclase and the phosphorylated form of the...
