1 Gene Regulation: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Chapter 11

2 Lac Operon OPERON Regulatory gene Promoter Operator
DNA mRNA Protein Lactose Promoter Operator Lactose-utilization genes Active repressor RNA polymerase cannot attach to promoter RNA polymerase bound to promoter Inactive repressor Enzymes for lactose utilization OPERON Operon turned off (lactose absent) Operon turned on (lactose inactivates repressor) Regulatory gene

3 Trp Operon (a) Tryptophan absent, repressor inactive, operon on. RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA at the promoter and transcribes the operon’s genes. Genes of operon Inactive repressor Protein Operator Polypeptides that make up enzymes for tryptophan synthesis Promoter Regulatory gene RNA polymerase Start codon Stop codon trp operon 5 3 mRNA 5 trpD trpE trpC trpB trpA trpR DNA mRNA E D C B A

4 Trp Operon DNA mRNA Protein Tryptophan (corepressor) Active repressor
No RNA made Tryptophan present, repressor active, operon off. As tryptophan accumulates, it inhibits its own production by activating the repressor protein. (b)

Ch. 18 Regulation of Gene Expression
Definitions Gene – sequence of DNA that is expressed as a protein (exon) Genes are coded –DNA →RNA→Protein→Trait Transcription – rewritting DNA into RNA.
