A mutation that inactivates the repressor gene of the lac operon results in (a) the continuous transcription of the structural genes (b) no transcription of the structural genes (c) the binding of the repressor to the operator (d) no production of RNA polymerase (e) no difference in the rate of transcription
consider the fec operon of Staphylococcus madeupiddis, which encodes an iron citrate uptake system. The fec operon promoter, called “Pfec”, is normally off when no regulators are bound to it (like the lac operon promoter). The activator FecA senses iron citrate and brings the appropriate enzyme to Pfec to start fec transcription when iron citrate levels are high. The repressor FecB senses free iron atoms and prevents fec transcription when free iron levels are high by binding to an operator between the promoter and structural genes. Considering the fecoperon described above, under which conditions would the operon be off? Choose all that apply. Low levels of free iron and high levels of citrate High levels of free iron and low levels of citrate High levels of free iron and high levels of citrate Low levels of free iron and low levels of citrate
Indicate whether each of the following statements about the lac operon are true or false: Bacteria with a lac phenotype are unable to use lactose because of some defect in expressing the genes A constitutive Lac+ phenotype could mean either that the production of repressor is defective or that the operator sequence is defective The lacl gene is next to, but is not part of, the lac 1. TRUE operon 2. FALSE Bacteria with a lac* phenotype cannot grow on media containing lactose as the only sugar The structural genes of the lac operon are each transcribed as a separate MRNA Expression of the Lac Repressor from the lacl promoter is regulated by lactose
Which of the following statements about the lactose operon in E. coli is TRUE? It contains the genes that encode the proteins for lactose metabolism. Its transcription is blocked when allolactose binds to the lac repressor. It contains a promoter, an operator and an attenuator. It is barely transcribed, when lactose is present in the medium and glucose is absent. It is transcribed at very high levels, when lactose is absent, and glucose is present.
consider the fec operon of Staphylococcus madeupiddis, which encodes an iron citrate uptake system. The fec operon promoter, called “Pfec”, is normally off when no regulators are bound to it (like the lac operon promoter). The activator FecA senses iron citrate and brings the appropriate enzyme to Pfec to start fec transcription when iron citrate levels are high. The repressor FecB senses free iron atoms and prevents fec transcription when free iron levels are high by binding to an operator between the promoter and structural genes. Considering the fec operon described above, which mutation would result in the operon being off under all conditions? Deletion of the operator where the repressor FecB binds to the DNA Deletion of the gene encoding the repressor FecB None of these mutations would result in the operon being off under all conditions Deletion of the gene encoding the activator FecA
All of the following statements about the repressor of the lac operon of E. coli are true EXCEPT which one? O A. The repressor is the product of a regulatory gene i The repressor binds to the operator region of the DNA of the lac OB. operon. The repressor is a protein. OC. The repressor interacts with the operator in such a way as to OD. prevent translation of beta-galactosidase. The repressor can combine with lactose to form a OE. complex that will no longer bind to the operator region. QUESTION 32 The amino acid which is a precursor of serotonin is Histidine OA. O B. Tyrosine O C. Glutamate D. Tryptophan O E. none of the above
Which of the following conditions is most likely to result in an increase rate of transcription of the lac operon? when lactose is present AND the repressor is permanently attached to the operator when lactose is present and there is high levels of glucose when lactose is absent and there are low levels of glucose when lactose is present and there are low levels of glucose
Regulation of the E. coli trp operon by attenuation requires the trp repressor protein. prevents transcription of the trp operon structural genes in response to high levels of charged tryptophan TRNAS. occurs because tryptophan binds to the trp repressor. prevents transcription of the trp operon structural genes in the presence of high levels of glucose.
Which of the below conditions would result in the lowest level of expression from the lac operon? High lactose, low glucose, mutation in lac repressor so that it can bind the operator and lactose at the same time High lactose, high glucose, mutation in sigma 70 protein that increases its affinity for binding the promoter No lactose, deletion of the operator sequence, low glucose High lactose, high glucose, changing the -35 and -10 region of the promoter to the consensus sequence for sigma 70 binding High lactose, high CAMP
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.
IPTG can be used in the laboratory as a synthetic inducer of the lac operon, instead of lactose.
