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

How high doses of radiation could affect a person's ability to make blood

Radiation can actually affect the entire body, however it has a large effect of the bone marrow. Radiation is dangerous because too much can cause cellular depredation, this happens in environment that rapidly change like the bone marrow, which then interferes with blood cell production.
