Lac Operon

Operon and Gene Regulation :

*Operon are multiple genes that part of a single gene expression unit

*Lac operon : the protein necessary for the utilization of lactose


Absence of Lactose

*Repressor protein bind to the operator site

*Blocking the promoter site

*Prevent RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter site

*Prevent transcribing the structural genes.

*The structural genes that code for the enzyme needed to digest lactose are not transcribed

*No production of lactose digested enzymes

Persence of Lactose

*Lactose convert to allolactose and bind to the repressor

*Changing repressor shape so that it is inactive and cannot bind to the operator

*RNA polymerase bind to promoter

*The structural genes are transcribed into mRNA that later translated into enzymes that digest lactose
