An operon is a group of genes under the control of a single promoter. Match each type of operon with the descriptions. Inducible Sufficient amounts of the gene product inhibit further transcription. Transcription occurs regardless of environmental conditions. Repressible Answer Bank Constitutive Activating the repressor gene product inhibits transcription. Under default conditions, transcription is inhibited.
The trp operon is: **(for additional information review the CogBooks Module, answer explained on CogBooks): In the absence of tryptophan, the trp repressor dissociates from the operator, and RNA synthesis proceeds. promoter operator trpE| trpD trpC trpB trpA RNA polymerase repressor When tryptophan is present, the trp repressor binds the operator, and RNA synthesis is blocked. promoter operator trpE trpD trpC trpB trpA RNA polymerase; repressor tryptophan Both negative inducible and positive repressible Positive inducible Negative Repressible O Negative inducible
What is a specific region in the trp operon that you could mutate so it expresses the trp operon in conditions of excess tryptophan. Why will this mutation cause this? Operon structure: promoter, operater, structural genes promoter - DNA region that is the site of RNA polymerase sigma binding and transcription initiation operator – DNA region that influences gene expression through its interaction with a protein (transcription factor) structural genes – gene whose expression is being regulated; encodes a polypeptide or functional RNA
When referring to attenuation in the regulation of the trp operon it would be safe to say that, when there are high levels of tryptophan available to the organism, ________. tryptophan inactivates the repressor protein translation termination of the trp operon is likely the trp operon is transcribed at relatively high levels the ribosomes stall during translation of the attenuator region transcription termination at the attenuator region is likely
When CAMP binds to the Catabolite Activator Protein (CAP), it causes a conformational change on the protein, which results in binding to the CAP- binding site on the DNA and molecule is known as a(n) of the lac operon. This conformational change induced by the binding of another transcription activation; allosteric effect transcription repression; binding effect translation; distortion effect mutation; interactive effect attenuation; compression effect O O O O
Regarding the trp operon: when levels of tryptophan are low, the ___ hairpin forms, resulting in _____ of transcription. Group of answer choices 2-3; termination 3-4; termination 3-4; continuation 2-3; continuation
As diagrammed below, some amino acid biosynthetic operons have stem loop structures in the mRNA. These structures play a role in the regulation of the operon by which of the following mechanisms? Translation stop codon- Attenuator loop. mRNA 5' 3' DNA attenuator trpE O Catabolite repressor protein can bind and prevent the hairpins from forming thus allowing translation to occur. O The leader sequence shown contains codons for the amino acid. When these are low, the ribosome stalls, allowing a hairpin between the two middle regions to form so that the rest of the message can be translated. In the presence of large amounts of the amino acid, the hairpin will wind around the amino acid and prevent further translation. O A repressor protein made of that amino acid will bind to the region and prevent translation when large amounts of the amino acid are present. O The uridine-rich region has codons for that amino acid; when present, this region will be a terminator region. The hairpins allow…
Which of the following statements about the trp operon is false? If a mutation in region 2 prevents the formation of the 2 + 3 loop in the 5’UTR transcription levels will increase. The trp operon is an example of negative repressible operon. Formation of the anti-terminator in the 5’UTR of the trp operon occurs when trp levels are low. In the presence of high trp-tRNA, the genes of the trp operon are not expressed. The role of trp is to bind to the repressor protein and activate it.
Use the lac operon to describe the process of controlling transcription through operons (structural gene, operator (vs. promoter), inducer, repressor, regulatory gene)
The DNA sequence before the protein coding region that determines when a gene is used is called the A regulatory protein that binds DNA to determine whether or not a gene is transcribed is called a Two proteins that make up part of the bacterial flagellum are jointly regulated and transcribed together in a(n) A operon is normally transcribed unless it is blocked by a repressor. A(n) operon is normally blocked by a repressor, until it is removed to allow transcription.
The organization and function of the lac operon in E. coli is shown in the following figures: XXI Transcription Repressor mRNA Translation RNA polymerase M M Flask ZYA XXXX Active M-repressor protein Repressor active, operon off.

When the inducer allolactose binds to the repressor protein, the inactivated repressor can no longer block transcription.

The tryptophan (trp) operon is a repressible system. This means the genes are normally expressed, but the presence of trp can repress the operon the genes are normally repressed the genes are normally expressed when trp is present the genes are normally repressed, but the presence of trp can activate the genes
