Chapter 16, Problem 23P
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason behind the promoter not exhibiting rotational symmetry.

Introduction:

The operator (o1) and the binding site for CRP-cAMP present in the lac operon show rotational symmetry. On the contrary, the promoter does not exhibit rotational symmetry.

The diagram below represents the tryptophan operon with the trp leader mRNA transcript enlarged to represent the AUG translation start codon, two consecutive tryptophan amino acid codons (UGGUGG), and 4 regions (1, 2, 3, and 4) that base pair to form different hairpin-loop structures in the MRNA leader region. Suppose a mutant bacteria has region 4 of the trp operon attenuator region mutated so that it cannot base pair normally. Would the bacteria grow in the absence of the amino acid tryptophan? (hint: in order for bacteria to grow in absence of tryptophan it should be able to synthesize its own tryptophan) Lead&r region trpE trpD trpC trpB trpA DNA 5' 3' Transcription trp leader sequence MRNA UGGUGG 1 (tryptophan codons) AUG UUUUUU No There is insutficient information to answer the question. O Yes
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 enhancers
