10 Terms

1
Repression
The process that inhibits gene expression, typically by a repressor protein binding to DNA.
New cards
2
Induction
The process by which a set of genes is turned on by the presence of an inducer.
New cards
3
Lac operon
A cluster of genes (lacZYA) regulated together, involved in lactose metabolism, controlled by the presence or absence of lactose.
New cards
4
Arabinose operon
Operon that uses both positive and negative control mechanisms; regulated by AraC protein and influenced by the presence of arabinose.
New cards
5
Trp operon
Operon responsible for synthesizing tryptophan, which is repressed when tryptophan is abundant.
New cards
6
Transcription
The process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.
New cards
7
Enhancers/Activators
Proteins that bind to regulatory regions to facilitate transcription by making promoter sequences more accessible to RNA polymerase.
New cards
8
Catabolite repression
A regulatory mechanism where the presence of preferred substrates (e.g. glucose) inhibits alternative substrate utilization (e.g. lactose).
New cards
9
Operon
A set of contiguous genes in the genome that are coordinately regulated to encode functional proteins or enzymes.
New cards
10
Repressor protein
A protein that binds to DNA to prevent transcription of specific genes.
