- If a wild-type (normal, NOTmutated) E. coli strain is grown in a medium: a. without lactose or glucose, how many proteins (and which ones) are bound to the lac operon? b. Without lactose, but with glucose, how many proteins (and which ones) are bound to the lac operon??arrow_forwardAfter comparing the whole genome sequencing results from a candidate that you suspect has a mutation that causes a downstream shift in start site selection to the parent strain to rule out pre-existing mutations, you are left with the following list of missense mutations. In 100 words or less, explain which of these mutations you believe is likely responsible for the transcription-related defects observed in your candidate strain and why you have ruled out the others.SWH1 D338V TFA1 C127R PKC1 I866Larrow_forwardA 2.0kb bacterial plasmid ‘BS1030’ is digested with the restriction endonuclease Sau3A; the plasmid map is depicted in the diagram below and the Sau3A (S) restriction sites are indicated. Which of the following DNA fragments do you expect to see on an agarose gel when you run Sau3A-digested plasmid ‘BS1030’ DNA? a. 250 bp, 450 bp, 550 bp, 1.1 kb, 1.5 kb and 2.0 kb b. 2.0kb c. 250 bp, 400 bp, 450 bp, 500 bp and 550 bp d. 100 bp, 200 bp, 250 bp, 400 bp, 500 bp and 550 bparrow_forward
- Based on the partial diploid sketched shown in Figure 3, where cross-hatched rectangles and the red bar indicate mutations that inactivate that particular genetic element of the operon, state if expression of LacO (Lac Operator) and LacY (Lac Permease) is (select one of the options below for each genetic element and briefly justify your answer): • constitutively ON (in the presence/absence of lactose) • constitutively OFF (in the presence/absence of lactose) • inducible by lactose • not enough information given to conclude • none of the above FIGURE 3: lact laco lacz- lacř lact laco lacz lacarrow_forwardGive the levels of Beta-galactosidase activity (high or low or zero) expected for the following partial diploids for the lac operon strains.arrow_forwardStrain ROFL4 has a premature stop mutation in the lacZ gene, resulting in a nonfunctional b-galactosidase. Otherwise all other parts of the operon are functional. Circle the least number of components for an F' plasmid that will restore normal regulation and function of the lac operon in the resulting partial diploid. (may need more than one) (a) lacI+ (b) lacO+ (c) lacP+ (d) lacZ+ (e) None, cannot be restored.arrow_forward
- Examine the following theoretical operon (gen) in E. coli which contains structural genes (genC, genB, genA) that are involved in amino acid biosynthesis. The gen operon also includes the gene encoding for the regulator molecule within it. When the amino acid that this operon helps synthesize is present, it binds to the regulator forming a complex which can bind to the operator region. Assume that the regulator molecule only binds to the operator in the presence of the amino acid.

- To characterize the promoter of the gadA operon you made a series of deletion mutants removing pieces of the promoter to see what would happen. The results are found below: gad promoter gada gadX gadz 450 +1 lacz activity transcription start site pH 2.0 pH 7.0 A gad promoter beta-galactosidase (lacZ) +++ 450 gad promoter beta galactosidase (lacZ) +++ +++ 300 +1 gad promoter beta galactosidase (lacZ) 150 D gad beta galactosidase (lacz) -450 150 E gad promoter beta-galactosidase (lacZ) -450 -300 Based on these results, what can you conclude about the gad promoter? O a. The promoter is only regulated by repression Ob. The promoter is regulated by a mix of activation and repression O c. The promoter is only regulated by activation O d. The promoter has multiple operators and multiple enhancersarrow_forwardConsider this strain of E. coli with lac operon alleles: IS pt o* z* y+ /T p* oCz- Y+ In a written response, briefly explain if beta-galactosidase AND permease will be expressed, and if so, will they be inducible or constitutive.arrow_forwardA mutant E. coli strain is isolated which does not ever produce the enzymes β-galactosidase or permease, irrespective of whether lactose is present or absent. If the normal wild-type genotype with respect to the lac operon can be represented as lacI+ lacP+ lacO+ lacZ+ lacY+, give three different mutant genotypes (list all 5 operon components in each case, do not consider partial diploids) which would result in the mutant phenotype described here.arrow_forward
