BIOL209: Operons
Name(s): Ana Alsulaim
Section: 001
Part I: Lac Operon
1.
What happens to transcription at the lac operon when glucose levels are low, and lactose is present? Why?
Lower glucose level leads to increased cAMP level. cAMP readily binds to CAP. CAP – AMP complex binding leads to
increased RNA polymerase binding and result in increased level of transcription.
2.
Illustrate it. Include: RNA polymerase, repressors, and any other molecules needed to show how it works.
GENE TURNED ON
3. What happens to transcription at the lac operon when glucose levels are high, and lactose is absent? Why?
When glucose is high, level of cAMP decreases, as a result cAMP cannot bind to CAP. They do not bind to DNA. As
a result, level of transcription is low and glucose production is stopped.
4. Illustrate it. Include: RNA polymerase, repressors and any other molecules needed to show how it works.
GENE TURNED OFF
Circle the correct answer:
5. Most of the time this operon is turned
6. The lac operon is a REPRESSIBLE
ON
OFF.
INDUCIBLE
