The lac operon contains three genes: lacZ, lacY, and lacA for β‑galactosidase, galactoside permease, and thiogalactoside transacetylase, respectively. The operon also contains a promoter site and an operator site. The regulatory gene includes the I gene for the Lac repressor protein and a promoter for that gene.

The lac operon undergoes negative regulation. In the normal condition, the Lac repressor protein is active. Allolactose, an isomer of lactose, is the signal molecule that binds to the Lac repressor. Determine which events will increase the concentration of lac gene products and which will decrease the concentration of lac gene products.

Background: Several genetic regions are needed for lactose
metabolism: P(promoter), O(operator), lacZ(b-galactosidase gene),
lacY(permease gene), lacA(transacetylase gene) and lacI(repressor
gene). Strains can be defined as having + - c or s copies: + refers
to the functional version, - refers to a defect version, c refers
to a constitutively active version and s refers to a superrepressor
version. Each strain may or may not have an extra-chromosomal
plasmid containing the genes indicated. TA=transacetylase

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...

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...
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...
