Resumo de Recurso

Lac Operon
  1. involved in lactose breakdown in E.coli
    1. if no lactose, a repressor is bound to operator, blocking transcription
      1. RNAP's binding to DNA is controlled
        1. binds at promoter
      2. if lactose present, it binds to the receptor and causes a shape change such so it no longer binds to the operator and thus RNAP (Rna Polymerase) can transcribe the genes
      3. E. coli
        1. prefers glucose for energy
        2. B-gal
          1. used to cleave glycosidic bond in lactose
            1. when cleaved makes glucose and galactose
            2. made by Lac z of the lac operon
            3. Lac Y is gene for creating B-galactosidepermease
              1. plac is sometimes called the promoter
                1. Laci is the gene that encodes for the repressor protein
                  1. binds to the operator and represses function of this operon
                    1. Pi is promoter of Laci
                      1. always made and binding to the operator
                      2. blocks RNA polymerase
                        1. Laci is bound to the DNA when lactose is not present
                          1. when lactose is present it binds to the repressor which then falls off the repressor
                        2. Lac A is gene for transacetylase
