Part A
Determine the appearance for northern blots of the bacteria listed below. In each case, lane 1 is for mRNA isolated after growth in a glucose-containing (minimal) medium, and lane 2 is for mRNA isolated after growth in a lactose-only medium.
a. lac+ bacteria with the genotype I+P+OCZ+Y+
b. lac- bacteria with the genotype I+P+O+Z−Y+
c. lac- bacteria with the genotype I+P−OCZ+Y+
d. lac+ bacteria with the genotype I−P+OCZ+Y+
e. lac- bacteria with the genotype I+P+OCZ−Y−
f. lac- bacteria with the genotype I+P+O+Z+Y+ and a mutation that prevents CAP-cAMP binding to the CAP site
Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Use black mark for full expression, white mark for low expression, and leave the target empty in case of no expression. Note: Not all targets will be used.
Mine says 2 incorrect. Please give me true answers! Thank you!! Slight Smile

A. Here, the Oc represents constitutive mutation in operator. Operator is always active and transcription takes place in the presence or in absence of lactose. So you will always get expression of Y. But the expression will not increase in the presence of lactose. Hence we get faint bands in the presence or in absence of lactose.

B. Inducible promoter, Y+ is present and hence a dark band in presence of lactose and no band in absence of lactose.

C. Promoter is mutated so polymerase cannot bind, no expression of genes. No bands I both conditions.

D. I- so constitutive expression, does not respond to lactose presence or absence. Also Oc mutation, so gene expression occurs all the time. light bands in both conditions.

E. No Y+ gene, so no bands in either condition.

F. CAP binding is essential for polymerase binding to promoter. So no expression. No bands in the absence of lactose. But in presence of lactose, faint expression takes place.
