  • Analyzing Mutant Strains

    For the trp operon: Basically, here again, if you have constitutive expression of the operon, it's because nothing is repressing the operon. There is a problem with the trp Repressor (trpR).

    A. normal regulation of lactose metabolism B. constitutive expression of lac Z+ C. inability to synthesize the lac Z+ gene product, à?

  • Genetics Problem Set

    I+ represses the expression of lac Z, Y, and A. This repression is turned off in the presence of lactose. Mutant I- allows constitutive or constant expression of lac Z,Y, and A. The mutant Oc also does the same.

  • Prokaryotic Genetic Recombination and Types of Operons

    On the other hand trpR mutants constitutively express the genes of the trp operon that is irrespective of the presence or absence of tryptophan.

  • How to do a linkage map

    To determine the relative order of the trp,pyr,cys genes and the distances between them, the Hfr and Fminus strains were mated long enough to allow the transfer of the nic gene, after which Trp+ recombinants were selected.

  • trinucleotides and protein sequence

    Third reading frame: Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp-Trp... This solution provides the protein sequence encoded by a repeating unit of the GGx trinucleotide, where x is any of the four nucleotides.

  • Understanding how trp operon mRNA is present but no tryptophan.

    Either some or all of the trp synthesizing proteins (A through E) are mutated and non-functional, or in the case of high tryptophan, the translating ribosomes transcribes through the leader trp region (trpL on the mRNA) efficiently, as to create a hairpin

  • Peptide Sequencing

    We can tell from this that Glu must be the C-terminal amino acid, since the sequence must be either A) Ser-Tyr-X-X-X-X-Trp-Glu or b) Ser-X-X-X-Trp-X-Tyr-Glu D) Reaction of the original polypeptide with CNBr produced two tetrapeptides.
