Homework Answers
LacZ codes for
beta-galactosidase enzyme which converts CPRG (yellow-orange) to
chlorophenol red in bete galactosidase assay. The red colour
intensity is measured using colorimetre. The wild type E.coli
contains LacZ gene and produce the enzyme which gives positive
result in the assay. LacI is the inhibitory gene that codes for
repressor. If the enzyme is not produced in the presence of glucose
means the repressor is activated proves LacI is present. If both
genes are present the strain is wild type. By this assay one can
easily identify difference between wild type and mutated type.

As a student project, you have isolated six new mutant strains
of E. coli with altered behavior of the lactose operon. The strains
are listed in the table below, together with their phenotypes (with
regard to significant ?-galactosidase synthesis) in three specific
situations.
Columns 1 and 2 present the phenotypes of each mutant haploid
strain. In column 1, the mutant is in an otherwise wild-type
genome. In column 2, the genome also carries a nonsense-suppressor
mutation (that is not present...

In this problem you will explore how to solve problems involving partial diploid lac operon bacterial strains. Bacterial strains that are "partially diploid" have two copies of the lac operon because they aquired a plasmid carrying just the lac operon region. One copy of the lac operon region is on the recipient's bacterial chromosome, and the other copy is on the F' plasmid that was introduced into the cell by conjugation. Partial diploid genotypes are written with the F' segment...

In some cases, a plasmid caintaining a wild-type functional gene or site was transformed into the E. coli strain. The strains were...

5. Jacob, Monod, and Pardee used various E.coli mutants to help determine how the lac operon is regulated. The descriptions of some of the mutants are listed. For each E. coli mutant determine if the lac operon would be on or off in a lactose-only environment. laci mutant: This mutant produces a super repressor that is not inactivated by allolactose. It will still stick. Operater will be off, lacO mutant: This mutant has an altered operator sequence so that the...

You are asked to develop a demonstration to show how the
lac operon works. You decide to use X-gal and IPTG to
determine if the enzyme ?-galactosidase is active. X-gal is a
lactose analog that turns blue when metabolized by ?-galactosidase,
but it does not induce the lac operon. IPTG is an inducer
of the lac operon, but is not metabolized by ?-galactosidase.
