Resource summary
Prokaryotic Gene Regulation
Gene regulation
Cause
Variations in env
light, temp, food source
transcription and translation are energy expensive
Products of most genes only needed in certain cells at certain times
What
regulation of synthesis of gene's transcript and protein product
adjust transcription of RNA, OR, or translation of mRNA into protein
stability of mRNA and posttranslational modifications of proteins
how
binding of regulatory proteins
regulates rate of transcription
to DNA sites adjacent to protein-coding region
Genetic switches
specific DNA sequences bound by specific regulatory proteins under specific conditions
Activator
Binds to activator binding site (ABS) upstream of promoter
helps RNA polymerase bind to promoter
Must be present for transcription
Repressor
Binds to operator downstream of promoter
Acts like a road block to prevent transcription
Must be absent for transcription
2 sites on a protein
Allosteric Effector binding site
Turn on
Allosteric effector binds
protein changes shape at DNA binding region
Can bind to DNA
Allosteric effector absent
Cannot bind to DNA
Turn off
Allosteric Effecto binds
protein changes shape at DNA binding region
Cannot bind to DNA
Allosteric Effector absent
Can bind to DNA
DNA binding region
E. coli
Normal food source is glucose
Can use lactose as food source when lac operon is activated
lac operon
Operon
segment of DNA that encodes a multigenic mRNA with a common promoter and regulatory region
CAP binding site on Promoter
Promoter (P)
ON/OFF
Off
P- mutation
RNA polymerase cannot bind
No transcription
mutation in -35 or -10 regions
On
P+
RNA polymerase can bind
Transcription
Operator
ON/OFF
OFF
lacI transcribes repressor (I+)
Repressor I binds to operator
No transcription
trans-acting
mutation lacI transcribes repressor (IS)
Repressor binds to operator
Cannot be removed by lactose
No transcription
trans-acting
Mutation in ABS
ON
Mutation Oc
Repressor can never bind
Transcription
Cis-acting
lacI transcribes repressor
Repressor I binds to operator
Lactose binds to I
repressor DNA binding sites changes, cannot bind to Operator
Transcription
lacI mutation (I-)
Repressor protein is nonfunctional
Transcription
trans-acting
Mutation in DNA binding site
lacZ
lacY
lacA
Function unknown
ON/OFF
OFF
Mutation Y-
lacY not transcribed
Permease not produced
Lactose cannot enter cell
Inhibitor never blocked
Cis-acting
ON
Y+
lacY transcribed
Permease produced
Lactose can enter cell
Inhibitor can be blocked
Cis-acting
ON/OFF
OFF
Mutation Z-
lacZ not transcribed
B-galactosidase not produced
Lactose not broken down
Cis-acting
ON
Z+
lacZ transcribed
B-galactosidase made
breaks down lactose into glucose and malactose
Cis-acting
Cis-acting
Volume controls
Low expression
High glucose
little cAMP
cAMP doesn't bind to CAP
CAP doesn't bind to promoter
Low lac operon experssion
High expression
Low glucose
High cAMP
cAMP binds to CAP AE site
CAP binds to Promoter
Helps RNA poly bind to promoter
Low expression
Mutation in CAP
CAP-
Mutation in DNA binding site
Can't bind to Promoter
CAP*
Mutation in AE site
Can't bind to cAMP
trans-acting
Important genes not part of operon
lacI transcribes repressor Inhibitor
CAP transcribes CAP
Experiments
Jacob and Monod
ASSAY
test to see if/when lac operon is transcribed
Easy way to turn on/off lac operon
Isopropyl-B-D-thiogalactosidase (IPTG)
artificial lactose
enters through permease
binds to repressor
NOT broken down by B-galactosidase!
Trigger starts gene expression (Induction)
Trigger cannot change concentration
Easy way to tell if lac operon was expressed under conditions of assay
ONPG
artificial lactose
enters through permease
can be broken down by B-galactosidase
produces yellow product
Detect formation of product of B-galactosidase breaking down lactose
strains of E. coli that have two copies of operon
create "diploid" bacteria
F' factors carry lac region to produce merozygotes
Determine dominance, survival, complimentation
