Predict what would happen to regulation of the lac operon in the lacI gene were moved 50,000 nucleotides upstream of its normal location.
Regulation of the lac operon should be normal. The location of the lacI gene isn't important, because the gene produces a protein that diffuses within the cell to the operator.

Sagot :

The lacI protein experiences a conformational shift upon lactose addition, which alters its affinity for the lac O sequences.

However, a protein made by the lacI gene, which controls the lac operon, prevents RNAP from attaching to the operon's operator?

Only once allolactose binds to it and renders it inactive can this protein be eliminated. The lacI gene produces a protein that is referred to as the lac repressor.

If the lac operon system is turned on, what will happen?

Only when lactose is present and glucose is absent do the genes come into play. Catabolite activator protein and lac repressor are the two proteins that control how much glucose and lactose is present in the body. Lac repressor prevents transcription of is an operon. It ceases to function as a repressor when lactose is present.
