A fictional bacterial operon is responsible for the production of the biosynthetic enzymes needed to make the theoretical amino

acid Tisophane (Tis). In the wild? type condition, when Tis is present, no enzymes are made. In the absence of Tis, the enzymes are made. The operon is regulated by a separate gene, R, deletion of which causes loss of enzyme production, regardless of whether Tis is present. A second class of regulatory mutations has been identified and these map to a region (the RB site) near the promoter of the Tis operon; these so?called RB? mutations also block production of the enzymes, regardless of the availability of Tis.
a. Is the operon under positive or negative control? Justify your answer.

b. Propose a model for regulation of the operon which explains the lack of enzyme production in the presence of Tis in wildtype cells, the role of the R protein and the effects of the RB? mutations.

Answer:

a. The operon is under positive control

a.) Loss of enzyme synthesis results from loss of regulatory R gene product which is regulated in the presence of Tis ophane for transcription. Absence of (Tis), transcription is positively controlled by regulatory Rprotein

b.) The proposed model reveals Tis / B complex prevents Tis enzymes from undergoing transcription through the RB operator by binding to the B region

the role of the R protein is

-decrease affinity of Tis / B complex to B region of RB

-bind to the R region on RB

- change the conformation of B region

- yield decreased affinity of Tis / B complex when R gene is lacking preventing transcription in the process

Effects of the RB mutations is that R protein will not bind to Tis / B complex to reduce transcription

Energy was added to the molecule. What processes would occur in the cell to add this energy?
lisov135 [29]
In order for energy to be able to be created, ATP(adenosine triphosphate) needs to form in either photosynthesis or krebs cycle from ADP + P(from NADPH). When ATP is available, huge amounts of energy are released when needed by slicing one P atom from ATP So that it can again become ADP and undergo lots of processes to become ATP again. So energy is added from tearing of Phosphate Atom due to tearing of phosphoanhydride bonds. This is possible because of process known as hydrolysis, when ATP is in equilibrium with water and some electrons. And the process of ADP becoming ATP is recharging and occurs in mitochondria.

The processes are hydrolysis and rechargeation, but most important process is Krebs Cycle, where all of this happens.
