Document Summary

Predict the effect of mutations in the lactose metabolism genes lacz, lacy, and laci upon the ability of e. coli to grow on xgal indicator plates. Genetic screening is one of the most powerful way of identifying unknown genes. Describe the role of repressor proteins in the negative control of transcription. Explain the roles of inducer molecules and operator sequences in prokaryotic operon function, using the lac operon as an example. Can"t grow on culture plates with only lactose as a sugar source. Can"t cut sugar into component parts for further metabolism lacy- mutants lack the membrane protein galactoside permease and so cannot transport lactose into the cell. Galactoside permease is a transmembrane protein that allows lactose to come in and be cut by b-gal. The lacz and lacy genes code for proteins involved in lactose metabolism, while the laci gene product serves a regulatory function.
