This structure encodes a tetrameric protein that binds to O1, O2, and O3 sites.
This structure encodes a tetrameric protein that binds to O1, O2, and O3 sites. One part of thissystem is joined to the UAS sequence in a common two-hybrid assay reporter. It is activated usingIPTG. It is positively regulated by the Catabolite Activator Protein, which binds to cAMP. Itsmutations include one which stops the binding of a repressor protein, leading to constitutiveactivation, and a super-repressor mutation in which the repressor fails to disassociate. It encodes a(*) transacetylase, permease, and galactosidase as part of a polycistronic RNA. It is minimally activatedwhen glucose is high. It was first characterized by Jacob and Monod in E. Coli. For 10 points, name thisprototypical gene expression system which regulates lactose metabolism.
