Lactose metabolism in E. coli is carried out by two enzymes, with possible involvement by a third. The genes for all three enzymes are clustered together and transcribed together from one promoter, yielding a polycistronic message. These three genes, linked in function, are therefore also linked in expression. They are turned off and on together.
Negative control |
keeps the lac operon repressed in the absence of lactose. |
positive control |
keeps the operon relatively inactive in the presence of glucose, even when lactose is present. |
when all the glucose is gone and lactose is present, a mechanism should exist. |
|
is mediated by a factor called catabolite activator protein (CAP), which, in conjunction with cyclic-AMP, stimulates transcription. |
