GENE REGULATION
Created by :- Gaurav Pathak
DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY
0peron
• Identified by Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod in 1961
• Unit of coordinate gene expression
• Its includes structural genes and their adjacent regulatory elements
• In some situations multiple operons are controlled by the same regulatory protein known as
REGULON
• TYPES
- Lac operon
- Ara operon
- Trp operon (repressible)
inducible
Types of Regulations
Two types of Negative Gene Regulation
 Repressible operon
- binding of a specific repressor protein to the operator shuts of
transcription
 inducible operon
- binding of an inducer to an innately inactive repressor inactivates the
the repressor and turns on transcription
Lac mutation
 constitutive mutation :- A mutant, in which structural genes of an
operon are always transcribed, even in the absence of inducer
• Comman iin negatively regulated operons
Uninducible mutation :-The expression of lac operon
genes cannot be induced
Lac operon mutants
Genotype Nature
lacZ Null mutation in lacZ
lacY Null mutation in lacY
lacO lacO can`t bind repressor; constitutive (always on )
lacP Promoter cannot bind RNA polymerase; operon not
transcribed
lacIs Repressor cant bind inducer; super-repressor
The partial diploid lacI+ lacZ //lacI+ lacZ+ produces β-galactosidase only in the presence of lactose
because the lacI gene is trans dominant
 The partial diploid lacIs lacZ+/lacI+lacZ+ fails to produce β-galactosidase in the
prensence and absence of lactose because the lacIs gene encodes a superrepressor.
 Mutaion in lacO are constitutive
Gratuitous Inducer
• A gratuitous inducer is a molecule which is
structurally similar to another molecule that
induces transcription for a specific product when
the official inducer is absent.
• IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1 thiogalactopyranoside) is
a molecular biology reagent.
• This compound is a molecular mimic of
allolactse, a lactose metabolite that triggers
transcription of the lac operon and it is there for
used to induce protein expression where the gene
under the control of the lac operator
 lac mutation (gene regulation)
