Resumen del Recurso
Lac Operon
The product of the Lac Z gene = beta-galactosidase. It cleaves lactose into glucose and galactose
The product of the Lac Y gene = lactase permease. It transports lactose into the cell
The product of the Lac A gene = beta-galactoside transacetylase. It is also involved in lactose hydrolysis
LACTOSE ABSENT
The path of RNA polymerase is blocked
transcription of the Lac genes cannot occur
saves energy, there is no need to have the proteins since lactose is not present
Only a few Lac enzymes remain in the cell, but these are crucial
LACTOSE PRESENT
The few Lac enzymes present allow the lactose to be taken up into the cell
These few lactose disaccharide molecules are metabolised
One intermediate is allolatose
Allolatose, an isomer of lactose, acts as an inducer
Binds to the lactose repressor
Changes it's confirmation
Lactose repressor can no longer bind to the operator
The path of RNA Polymerase is no longer blocked
Transcription of the Lac genes commences
Uptake and Metabolism of Lactose from the environment
So allactose acts an indicator of the presence of the lactose
But, if glucose if present, the cell will use it preferentially.
The cell uses a Catacolic Activator Protein (CAP) to detect available glucose
CAP binds to DNA upstream of the lac promoter
This enhances the binding of RNA Polymerase, increasing transcription
But, it can CAP can only bind in the presence of cAMP
cAMP levels are influenced by glucose conentration
How?
Adenylyl cyclase cataylses the formation of cAMP and is inhibited by glucose
