Introduction
• OPERON MODEL - Francois Jacob and Jaques Monod (1961).
• Regulated genes can be switched on/off depending on cell's metabolic needs.

• An Operon is a group of structural genes function as a single unit.
• It contains Structural genes i.e lac Z, lac Y and lac A.
LacZ gene- codes beta-galactosidase.LacY gene- codes galactose permease.LacA gene- codes thio galactoside
transacetylase.• Operator• Promoter• Regulator gene

The lac promotor have 2 regulatory sites, known as operator and CAP site.
lac I gene (Regulator gene ) encodes the lac repressor, a regulatory protein that binds to the DNA and prevents transcription.
Operator (lac O) is a binding site for repressor.
![Page 10: Regulation of lac operon positive nd negative](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052418/58ac7fc51a28ab4c6c8b653b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• CAP( Catabolite Activator Protein ) acts as an activator.
• CAP binds DNA and activate the lac genes in the absence of glucose.
• The lac repressor binds DNA and repress transcription only in the absence of lactose.

Types•There are 2 types of regulation of the lac
operon.
• Negative Regulation- When the expression of genetic information is quantitatively decreased by the presence of specific regulatory element, it is called as negative regulation
• Positive Regulation- When the expression of genetic information is quantitatively increased by the presence of specific regulatory element, it is called as positive regulation
![Page 12: Regulation of lac operon positive nd negative](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052418/58ac7fc51a28ab4c6c8b653b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Negative Regulation•Negative form of regulation involves
the lac repressor protein which binds to the sequence of nucleotides found within the lac operator site.
•Once the lac repressor binds, it prevents RNA polymerase to transcribe the lacZ, lacY and lacA genes.

Lac repressor binds as a tetramer.So each Operator is contacted by the repressor dimer.
![Page 16: Regulation of lac operon positive nd negative](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052418/58ac7fc51a28ab4c6c8b653b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
•The ability of the lac repressor to bind to the operator site depends on whether or not allolactose is bound to it.
• Allolactose acts as an inducer and binds to the repressor.
![Page 17: Regulation of lac operon positive nd negative](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052418/58ac7fc51a28ab4c6c8b653b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• When allolactose binds to the repressor, a change occurs that prevents the lac repressor from binding to the operator site.
• RNA polymerase is now free to transcribe the operon.

• In presence of lactose – repressor protein binds to allactose and forms Repressor-Lactose complex. RNA polymerase binds to P site and genes transcribed.
• In absence of lactose – repressor protein binds to O site of lac operon , block the RNA polymerase from reaching P site. No transcription .

Positive Mechanism• This type of regulation is influenced by the
presence of sugar glucose.• The presence of glucose ultimately leads to
the repression of the lac operon.
• Catabolite repression Is a type of +ve control in the lac operon.
• cAMP binds to an activator protein known as catabolite activator protein(CAP) binds to a site near the promoter & stimulates the binding of RNA polymerase.

ATP synthesizes cAMP in the presence of the enzyme Adenyl cyclase.
![Page 24: Regulation of lac operon positive nd negative](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052418/58ac7fc51a28ab4c6c8b653b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Binding of the CAP-CAMP to the CAP site causes the DNA to bend by more than 90 degrees.
Binding enhances the transcription by which more DNA will be available for the RNA polymerase.

CRP
• CRP is a cAMP receptor Protein.• It is necessary for the high level transcription.• It alone cannot bind the DNA nor regulate
transcription.• It can form CRP-cAMP complex to bind to the
DNA.
