Define the following in the context of operons: a. positive control b. give an example of an operon that is under positive control c. negative control d. give an example of an operon that is under negative control e. repressor f. give an example of a repressor molecule g. activator h. give an example of an activator
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
Study the depiction of the lac operon in Figure 11.2. Normally, the genes are turned off when lactose is not present. Lactose activates the genes, which code for enzymes that enable the cell to use lactose. Mutations can alter the function of this operon. Predict how the following mutations would affect the function of the operon in the presence and absence of lactose: a. mutation of regulatory gene; repressor will not bind to lactose b. mutation of operator; repressor will not bind to operator c. mutation of regulatory gene; repressor will not bind to operator d. mutation of promoter; RNA polymerase will not attach to promoter
Which of the following diagrams best models the regulation of the trp operon when tryptophan is present at high levels?

Which of the statements about the attenuator region of the trp operon is TRUE? Choose an answer below: It is located upstream of the promoter. It is located upstream of the operator. Its transcript contains inverted repeats. It is located upstream of the structural genes. c and d, but not a or b
An operon is repressible—a small effector molecule turns off itstranscription. Which combination(s) of small effector molecule andregulatory protein could be involved in this process?A. An inducer plus a repressorB. A corepressor plus a repressorC. An inhibitor plus an activatorD. An inducer plus an activator
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.

You can determine the regulation of an unknown operon based on descriptions like those in the table below. For each row, choose whether the fact would suggest positive or negative or inducible or repressible regulation and indicate your answer with an X in the column. Only one X should appear in each row. In the presence of the signal, the structural genes are expressed. In the presence of the signal, the structural genes are not expressed. In the absence of the signal, the structural genes are expressed. In the absence of the signal, the structural genes are not expressed. The binding of the regulatory protein to the operon results in structural gene expression. The binding of the regulatory protein to the operon prevents structural gene expression. A mutation in the regulatory protein results in constitutive expression of the structural genes. A mutation in the regulatory protein results in no or low expression of the structural genes. Positive? Negative? Inducible? Repressible?
Describe how the components of the trp operon system are affected by a mutation in trpC? Why is it that once enviornmental tryptophan is inserted into the cell, only the trp repressor is activated (turned on)?
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.
