00:11 Testing, testing, testing. Hurry . Ok, folks. Happy

00:20 Um All right, usual stuff. , let's see. So we're doing

00:30 chapter 10. This is the last we'll cover before the exam.

00:37 next week. Uh, we start last unit. Ok. So it's

00:41 about, um, immune system et cetera. Uh I haven't put

00:49 , I haven't opened it yet but do that before the end of the

00:52 . Um, that material. um, and we'll finish everything this

01:00 . I don't, I don't see being any carryover. So,

01:04 so they is kind of just going will end, will end at the

01:10 of the trip to Fan Arron. cover like the part one of that

01:14 then do the rest of the stuff Thursday. Uh Let's see.

01:18 you know, quiz, remember those gonna be a little more comprehensive,

01:22 ? So it's gonna cover seven through . Uh, remember that, you

01:27 , stick to that, you whatever you use as your source to

01:33 you read the book, right? you don't read the book, then

01:35 doesn't matter. But, uh, you read the book, um,

01:39 you know, I'm not covering the of any of these chapters,

01:44 So use that to keep on track the uh the exam review sheet or

01:49 lecture notes. Just remember that. remember that over there and that I'm

01:55 covering all the chapters in their Ok. So, um, you

02:00 want to waste time going over stuff not relevant? Ok. Um

02:06 what else? So exam three schedule already opened and uh there's a smart

02:11 . I think the Chapter 10 smart is due next Monday. So,

02:15 right. Uh, once I was to uh mention this, so,

02:22 , if you are one and I many of you are interested in

02:29 in uh professional school, right? school, et cetera, right?

02:36 you will, and I know the is hard, you can see it

02:39 , but I'll post it on canvas you can have access to it

02:44 She's a Doctor Ogletree has been offering for several semesters. Um And uh

02:51 basically it's, if you're interested in professional healthcare profession, right? How

02:57 get into their, into the, it's optometry or medical school,

03:01 whatever it's, how do you do ? Um, there'll be people coming

03:07 from these professions to enlighten you, assume on the process and what it's

03:12 about. So, you know, , it's there, it's a one

03:16 course in the spring. So you know, ok, and So

03:22 , I'll, I'll again, I'll this on canvas as well so you

03:25 look at it. So. All . So what everybody, so I'm

03:28 to see. Ok. So did win the Halloween contest? Well,

03:38 it was hottest Ken. It was and Barbie. Right? So it

03:41 a couple, they changed it So it was best Ken and

03:44 whether you were a couple or I had nothing to do. So

03:47 I win? Of course, I . Oh, so just think.

03:55 , ladies calm down. So here's , here's a close up. It

04:01 abs man. And if you think real, it's, it's not.

04:07 it's actually a shirt but that was . I have the, the shirt

04:11 , wow, ok. Plus the lighting that probably helped you. So

04:15 but the, the way, So, uh anyway, so I

04:21 . Ok. Um And that was uh that, and that's not my

04:25 , by the way. Um She's better looking but she, she is

04:32 this is uh that was the Barbie . So Cowboy Barbie. OK.

04:37 , um anyway, so enough of OK. Uh uh gene regulation.

04:46 we are going to go into today kind of the terminology used the levels

04:53 control and then the specific examples. specifics in terms of La Opera,

05:01 Fan Operon and then uh some kind different um aspects of control. We'll

05:09 on that over that Thursday. So, uh I think it helps

05:15 the, with both of these Uh there's animations, uh I think

05:19 helps to view those. You can kind of a picture of what's going

05:23 . Um It's not that complicated but is the, you're gonna have to

05:30 la opera and Tripen opera and there differences there obviously. So you wanna

05:36 able to compare and contrast those OK. Um In terms of the

05:41 when the control happens and when it , OK. So, um so

05:48 before we get there, we'll go LAC Operon today. OK. And

05:53 , uh I'm sure um we used cover an intro bio, we used

05:59 cover Lac Opera. We don't do anymore. Um That's been for several

06:04 now. But so I don't, but I'm pretty sure has anybody had

06:09 Opera near the courses yet? It it uh Biochemistry. Genetics.

06:14 OK. Did you go into uh I'm sure you went into the

06:21 the um what is it? There the, you have the,

06:26 the absence of the presence of lactose it, but then also the glucose

06:31 you went through all that. All . Well, then your expert,

06:34 ? So, um the o on did it up. OK. Uh

06:40 right, then maybe just if you that, then uh you can help

06:43 others that have. How about So, um and probably it's likely

06:49 get it more than that, you biochemistry and some other upper level bio

06:52 , you'll probably see it again and sick of it by the time.

06:55 if you're not already. OK. Anyway, so let's start here.

07:02 . So kind of the basics, ? So here's let me open this

07:06 . Um OK. So we have question, the internal response in the

07:14 turns into an output action uh by cell due to the formation and functioning

07:24 . So you have some kind of , the what the cell does about

07:30 is typically through these things. Usually most of the time.

07:57 OK. That, hey two let's count down from seven oh

08:14 654 21. OK. Point it's protein or proteins. OK?

08:24 could be uh sometimes it can be RN A molecules um but usually it's

08:29 be action of a protein subtype. . Um And so of course,

08:34 gets us into the um regulation, ? So a an output as as

08:45 in the previous slide occurs as a of some kind of something going on

08:50 the cell, environmental or whatever nutrients present. Um What's the temperature?

08:56 oxygen levels are concentration, these are things, you can probably list a

09:01 more of what a bacterial cell would to respond to in its environment,

09:06 ? And so you can't just sit do nothing or likely won't survive.

09:11 you have to turn off and on genes, right, to uh

09:16 to have a response. And so about controlling these things, right?

09:21 , external signals um are um converted some kind of sensor protein on the

09:30 . Uh This could be a receptor some type. It could be a

09:35 of lactose operon. It's a, a transport protein. So it could

09:39 a number of different things. But any case, it's, it's,

09:44 senses what's going on through that and internally typically through expression of transcription

09:52 maybe activators, et cetera, uh factor involved in this right to,

09:59 turn on various genes, right? , um and that, of

10:05 so remember what bacterial cells are we got the operon structure.

10:10 And so the ultimately producing a protein some sort. OK. And so

10:19 now the uh question here. So did uh I meant to show you

10:25 . So I uh looking today so of a Halloween theme and related to

10:31 regulation what they call zombie genes. . And I didn't know this myself

10:39 uh um you or, or you're a living, those that are in

10:44 living state like we are now, ? You're obviously, you're expressing

10:47 controlling genes, different types when you longer cease to exist. You actually

10:55 expressing genes. I didn't know that called a, you call it a

11:00 it was a Greek. Greek term fan NAO transcriptome, which means the

11:06 part has a Greek for dead So like you're dead, your transcriptome

11:10 you are dead, you actually, actually produce um express some genes there

11:18 uh like 2% or something like that , of the genome expressed. So

11:21 thought that was, that's crazy. And it, and it relates to

11:25 the cells, it's like this like response by your cells to say,

11:29 , we're not ready to die So we're gonna still do some expression

11:33 . OK. So I thought that uh interesting, but I'll,

11:38 I'll post the article, you may interested in that. Um Anyway,

11:42 on track here, right? So all about controlling genes, right?

11:45 remember, and I've said this a times this semester you can ever see

11:50 this process here. That is all energy required, right? Requires

11:56 to do this, to make a to transcribe, right? All these

12:00 are building processes, takes energy. of course, you gotta control

12:04 You can't just be willy nilly, in genes when you don't need to

12:08 you're wasting energy. OK? So is tightly controlled and again, based

12:13 what's going on around it, what's on inside of it, all

12:16 to kind of uh modulate things. ? Um So levels of control.

12:24 that's what this question relates about. . So that's why I mentioned earlier

12:28 know the basics of, you DNA RN A protein, right?

12:32 that's, that's how we're gonna control process at those various levels.

12:38 So here we've got C tryptophan Operon , right? Can be controlled by

12:44 Thehan itself, right? So that is one that um the, it's

12:52 opera on, that is an anabolic . It controls the expression, the

12:57 of Crypt fan. That's what the of the opera and do make

13:01 OK. So one level of control a trip define that's made can inhibit

13:06 of the enzymes that helps to make . OK. And so what kind

13:12 what we, what do we call kind of control? OK.

13:26 OK. Let's count down from So I did um I added a

13:32 to this and I made it before . Um Obviously, I'll post it

13:37 class but it, it's helped to of help you organize this um levels

13:41 control. OK. Mm All So see, we got transcriptional,

13:58 translational uh translational. So uh if answered e you're correct. OK.

14:11 uh I'll explain, explain on this . OK. So um this one

14:16 the next one. So multiple right? So DNA um you can

14:23 nucleotides that can um that can uh expression uh like methyl cyto, for

14:31 , OK. We'll look at, look at this Thursday, this thing

14:35 phase variation where you're basically just like flopping DNA segments, inverting them and

14:42 that alters transcription. OK. And a way to control, um RN

14:50 , right? So you go from to RN A to proteins,

14:53 So at the RN A level, multiple. OK. And one of

14:58 is transcription, very common method of in prokaryotes is transcriptional control.

15:05 So, so, but what it people often confuse this. OK.

15:11 transcriptional control is deals with not, the fully formed transcript. It's before

15:21 right? It's are we going to transcription or not? Right. So

15:26 affecting the ability of the army pli to do its function, right?

15:32 you either allow it or you That's transcriptional control, right? And

15:35 what black operan will look at um defend OPERON. These are all transcriptional

15:42 . OK. Um RN A OK. So um that has to

15:51 with kind of think of it as half life, right? MRN

15:54 So uh Mrnas are in the order seconds. OK. And uh or

16:01 maybe, but not much longer, ? Compared to periodic transcripts, which

16:05 be um on your order of hours days or even months, sometimes.

16:11 . So there's different ways you can that um translational control, right?

16:16 anything to do with the ribosome? you allowing the ribosome to function or

16:20 ? OK. Uh posttranslational. So was the answer to the question,

16:25 ? So here you've now made the if you're posttranslational. So you can

16:31 affect expression, right? You can the proteins, you can add a

16:36 group to it and activate it, ? Or maybe that will deactivate,

16:41 . So there's different things you can at that level, it can act

16:45 as a crypto fan. This can bind to an enzyme. Remember the

16:50 uh we call allosteric right? Uh between with enzymes. So it can

16:56 to an enzyme, right? And it. OK. So uh so

17:01 these uh can happen and they can it, it's not just one happens

17:07 that's it. They can all they all they all combine with each

17:10 . OK. So the the slide see here is the one I made

17:14 for class right now. Oh Let back up. All right. So

17:18 is an important concept here. constitutive genes. So everything we just

17:23 about here, post translational translational, cetera. Those are all ways to

17:29 various genes. But there are some are always expressed and constitutive is what

17:34 refers to a cons constitutive gene is much always expressed. OK? And

17:41 are gonna be for things like critical type activities. Um you know,

17:49 , certain metabolism, genes like maybe or, or, or

17:54 Um uh These are functions that are always need to be going. And

17:59 genes for that are, are pretty always expressed. OK? So what

18:03 call another term, you might see call is what they call housekeeping

18:08 right? Which kind of means what says, right? A housekeeping gene

18:11 one that's always kind of they're needed the, the day to day functioning

18:16 the cell if you will like a to minute functioning of the cell.

18:18 so those are always on. Uh But you know, in comparatively

18:24 , most of these genes and organs gonna be controlled, right? But

18:28 do have some that aren't, So, so this is the slide

18:32 was talking about. So again, way to kind of interpret this.

18:37 . So again, this is pretty explanatory DNA. All right, we

18:40 talked about that. Uh transcriptional control affect uh involved as we'll see.

18:45 course, the promoter operator because that's only preliminary interaction, right? So

18:50 where that's where the action is going occur in terms of affecting its

18:54 OK? It could involve Sigma right? So we don't go into

19:00 the examples of gene control your book uh because there are several that Sigma

19:06 , Sigma factors are effective. So you alter that, remember, that's

19:10 , that's what, that's what um that are clima to the promoter.

19:15 if you fiddle with the Sigma then obviously you're gonna affect the uh

19:21 . OK? Uh posttranscriptional, So that's actually kind of a umbrella

19:28 that can actually encompass all three of . OK. So it's a more

19:34 term. If you will, you posttranscriptional, it could be one of

19:38 three things and you know, if go on, I'm, I

19:42 I know you will, you want sell bio or, or more upper

19:48 classes and you talk about regulation. , you'll see that term and they

19:52 actually refer to one of these three . OK? Because it's, it's

19:58 what this means is OK? You've the transcript, OK? Now,

20:02 can happen to it? Right. , you can alter stability of

20:06 make it go away, degrade You can affect the ability of rhyme

20:10 to bind to it. OK? Or if they're bound to it to

20:15 make them translate or post translational, ? You go to the protein,

20:20 ? So, um anyway, and we just talked about these two and

20:26 , so one thing we'll talk about are regulatory RNAs, right? These

20:31 actually affect those stability. You can up degrading the RN A or it

20:36 affect the ability to translate it. ? So, um anyway, that's

20:42 of the, what's going on Any, any questions about that?

20:48 , um so this question, let try and open a pole, an

20:56 repressor. So here's, we're gonna some terms, right? Active uh

21:01 , inactive repressor, uh activators, et cetera. OK? So an

21:10 repressor in transcripts control are in operant . This way um an active repressor

21:19 an inactive repressor. OK. And conditions that create, that create those

21:26 be completely different, we look at opera. So for example, lactose

21:32 could defend opera, both involve active active repressors, but the conditions that

21:39 it are completely different. OK. So let's see. We're counting down

21:48 15. OK. I cross OK. An active repressor binds to

22:12 operator. Yes, that is OK? Um To derepress means to

22:24 the repressor, right? So an repressor basically binds to an operator

22:31 and blocks transcription. OK. So eliminates a, it um doesn't require

22:40 inducer. An inducer will actually inactivated allows or to carry out its

22:46 No, if it's, if if it's doing a, then it

22:50 do c but it's not doing either those. OK? And so e

22:53 the only correct answer here. Um So terminology, right? So

22:59 terms depression induction, core cursor de , OK. So repress, you

23:06 , you, you can, you what that means, right? Repress

23:10 , right? You're shutting him right? Um If you're, if

23:16 un repressing them, the word is , right? You're so repressed means

23:21 think of it as stopping transcription, repression means to alleviate the repression and

23:26 transcription. OK. Induction means to transcription. A corepressor can be involved

23:37 the repression action. So if you a corepressor, that means you must

23:41 another two things coming together to make active repressor. OK? So we'll

23:46 at those in kind of context of pictures here. OK. So there's

23:51 gonna be some type of regulatory protein is controlling the gene or genes,

23:58 ? Only the opera. OK. so um so in induction slash de

24:07 , OK. And so both of promote expression of the gene.

24:12 Hence on, OK. So here's example here. So we got um

24:19 target gene is repressed. OK. in this scenario, here's the active

24:27 . OK. So, so this all about binding, it's all about

24:31 binding to DNA is what it OK. And so the protein binds

24:36 typically what we'll see, you especially in lack and trip opera on

24:40 is the operator sequence, right? we have a promoter, we got

24:43 operator, right? So the operator kind of where this action is

24:47 OK? Um And so the pressure . Now you have a physical blockage

24:54 RN a flier, right? This all because remember the operators by the

24:59 , right? And so RN a binds promoter but can't get around right

25:04 . It's it's being uh repressed, ? So there's a mask, a

25:09 on it, you can't go OK? But if you have an

25:13 right, then it can bind, ? So remember when proteins bind or

25:18 binds a protein, it changes the , right? And so now it

25:22 the shape that the repressor is now . OK. And comes off that

25:30 sequence, right? And so you , so the presence of inducer promotes

25:36 . All right. And that's essentially the lack opera is. OK.

25:40 example of that. OK. So the presence of lactose presence of lactose

25:48 expression. Technically not correct. It's a version, a variation called allo

25:54 , but we'll get into that Um So the corepressor repressor that mechanism

25:59 the trip is an example of OK. So um in there,

26:06 have a repressor protein but is in inactive state. OK? Because

26:16 it has to bind a repressor excuse me to become an active

26:22 OK? And so in that it can bind to that regulatory

26:28 an operator and B expression. So you can see how um these

26:34 both, well, number one, definition of a active repressor and an

26:42 repressor is the same whether you're talking lac operon crypto opera or whatever

26:49 right? But the conditions that create can be completely different and you can

26:55 that here. So here's an active protein in this scenario, right?

27:01 the active one here is complex with corepressor. OK. So the presence

27:11 the corepressor is what forms the active , the presence of an inducer is

27:20 forms the inactive complex. So it's . OK. In terms of creating

27:25 two scenarios OK. But the, the meaning, right? That meaning

27:30 still the same an active repressor in scenarios, both examples um blocks

27:39 right? So active oxy, Active blocks it but it just how

27:48 both become active is completely different. ? Same with inactive. OK.

27:56 um but again, we're uh repeat as we get into the specific examples

28:04 each opera. OK. Um But questions about that, OK. So

28:10 , repression, repression, induction, . Um let's look at this.

28:18 activator. So activators can be a of the scenario. We'll see that

28:23 the uh lactose opera. So uh having the presence of lactose alone and

28:31 absence of glucose. Oh I'm the presence of weo alone isn't

28:37 There's, there's more to it as see. And actually what happens is

28:41 form uh an activator. OK. this kind of goes back to,

28:46 talked about last time and promoter OK? So the or lyra binds

28:53 a promoter and you can get right? Remember that level of expression

28:59 kind of down here. OK. to ramp it up, right?

29:05 , you put components on the promoter that helps to draw the pliers there

29:11 bind it very tightly. OK? you add things like transcriptional activators and

29:17 come bind at the promoter and that to tighter binding of the plum rights

29:23 more expression. OK? What we high level expression? So, Um

29:29 that's what activators do. OK. It can be multiple of them coming

29:35 the promoter that's common for eu periodic . Um Bacteria aren't generally that as

29:43 , but they can certainly have the of activators to enhance the promoter um

29:51 for the prelimerase. OK. Um , the um let's look at

29:59 So we're gonna get into the LA on here and we'll see exam,

30:02 gonna see examples of everything we just about repressor, uh inducer, et

30:07 . OK. So here uh which true about the lack opera.

30:16 So I give you some time to that Mr OK. And mm mhm

31:06 . OK. OK. Let's count from 10 sh sh sh Right?

31:26 It is B OK. So I think it helps to because when

31:32 compare and contrast la opera, hip and kind of the logic behind the

31:38 of those, it helps to remember both operas are for opposite pathways.

31:48 other words, La Opera is a bolic pathway. It's about the steps

31:54 break down lactose. So we can it as an energy source. Tryptophan

31:58 is a anabolic bio synthetic pathway. about making tryptophan, right? So

32:05 different things obviously. So uh so Operon, so obviously, that's

32:11 It's for the breakdown of lactose, the synthesis. OK. Um It's

32:19 example of transcriptional control, not OK. Because the end result

32:27 are we going to form the transcript not. OK. Um And this

32:33 inactive repressor. No, uh that's . Uh An inactive lack repressor

32:40 not, not prevents OK. La on expression. OK. So B

32:46 the only correct one because lack Y that transport protein for lactose,

32:52 it binds to it and brings it the cell. OK. And essentially

32:57 black Y is kind of the eyeballs lactose like the cell will only know

33:02 lactose is out there, if it that protein in its membrane.

33:08 Um OK. So here are the . So uh so la opera,

33:17 ? So we have a regulatory gene from the black opera, which is

33:22 genes, three proteins, but we need to worry about this one black

33:30 . OK. Zoy is all that us. Uh It's still not known

33:36 what the A product does for the . OK. This can be completely

33:43 , this is gonna be completely knocked and still the cell is completely capable

33:49 taking a lactose and using it. it has nothing to do apparently with

33:53 metabolism. So nothing to worry about . OK. So number one

33:59 is the bullet point you see OK. A low level always occurs

34:04 there's a reason for that. And low, I mean like one

34:08 two molecules worth OK. So nothing meaningful for the cell in terms of

34:15 lactose obviously. But, but it to generate this one here.

34:20 the why? Right. This So um because that's the way you

34:27 see if lactose is even present. gotta have that or else it

34:31 it, you know, it won't what's out there to, to be

34:34 to do anything if it needs to it. OK. So, so

34:39 there. So the perm, perm another name for transport protein and think

34:44 it as it makes a cell permeable lactose if you will. OK.

34:50 But it binds specifically to it brings in. OK. And the lac

34:57 Z function, OK. So lactose a guy sack, right?

35:01 you have to cleave it into uh and glucose. OK? And when

35:08 do that, it goes into the other function of the enzyme is

35:14 create the AOL lactose inducer, So this is the thing that actually

35:19 a form that does the actual OK? Not lactose itself.

35:27 The um so at high levels of , you get the the function where

35:34 we're breaking apart lactose and then funneling into glycolysis, right? Uh Glucose

35:41 into don't need to know this. glucose six phosphate, I think and

35:48 this has to go another couple steps it can fall into glycolysis. Um

35:55 that's one of the reasons why glucose an effect on glucose kind of overrides

36:00 if it's present. OK? Because is readily assimilated into the cell.

36:05 that's what Glyco is, is geared taking in glucose and bam off you

36:11 other sugars that they can certainly The co I can use 30 different

36:17 so sugars, ok? But it's go through some steps before it can

36:23 into glycolysis. Ok? And that that like lactose, that those sugars

36:30 they're present and glucose is present, is preferred because it's easily into the

36:37 , takes less energy to get it the pathway. Um lactose and other

36:43 have to be a little more OK. So just keep that in

36:47 back of your head when we when we get there. Um

36:52 So um so really, it's about is why we have to have a

37:00 level of expression. OK? Um that's the eyeballs for the cell to

37:07 glucose lactose. OK? And that's of what we're seeing here.

37:12 So a low level of expression and , I mean super low,

37:16 Because the cell doesn't wanna waste energy . So you just gonna have a

37:20 of these, a couple of of um of these uh molecules, these

37:29 wise proteins. OK. And so and so another thing here to point

37:35 is that the binding, right? we see in this scenario that back

37:41 here, right, lack repressor is , right? So these bindings,

37:48 , whether it's repressor operator or inducer repressor that these are not irreversible

37:57 right? They come off and on and on, right. There's a

38:01 called binding constants. Now this this the the affinity that the molecules have

38:05 each other, right? And so you were to take like AAA camera

38:09 take a snapshot, right, in the scenario, you see here where

38:13 repressor is bound, well, you , almost every time you go down

38:17 and take a picture, it looks this or it's bound. OK?

38:22 there will be times when it's not . OK? Not a lot,

38:29 enough where you can make, you , low level expression, right?

38:34 a couple of molecules work, And uh in the time frames when

38:39 like that unbound, that's when you sneak in a couple Mrnas worth of

38:46 . OK? And that's enough. all you need. OK? Because

38:50 will allow you to make the black OK? And so now the cell

38:57 see what's um just try to get and draw an eyeball. I don't

39:04 I can eyeball. There's an right? That's how we can see

39:10 lactose factor. If it didn't, could have a bazillion molecules of lactose

39:14 the cell. It wouldn't know it it doesn't have that black Y out

39:17 . OK. Think of black Y the, the lighthouse on the

39:20 OK? It's looking for lactose. . So um so if it is

39:26 , obviously it can come in and be processed by the LZ,

39:35 ? Part of it goes to AOL , right? Um It's kind of

39:39 on how much is out there, ? And so the, the um

39:46 of AOL lactose will then buying pressure you, you can go from what

39:50 be like in this state here, ? Repression. We had a little

39:55 of lack expression to form a couple those permeation, put them in the

40:00 . Then if it's see, oh have a boatload of lactose out

40:04 then very quickly, it will ramp like 1000 fold in terms of

40:09 OK. So that can increase very . OK? If lactose is indeed

40:14 , if it comes in the then lac Z does its thing,

40:18 ? Creating the inducer and then cleaning into the sugars and then off to

40:25 and respiration, et cetera, So that change can occur very quickly

40:31 wrap up very rapidly. OK? And within minutes, it can be

40:39 . Again, because the operator right, the whole pathway is

40:46 So all the genes involved in the where you can turn on and off

40:49 one time, right? So um lactose out there, come on

40:54 right? Um Now, so so just remember that there's another layer

41:02 this as we'll see in a So, um again, here is

41:08 Black Opera. So in the absence Black Coast, the the lac repressor

41:15 , actually, it binds and brings . So the la, the lac

41:19 itself has an operator with its regulatory and it actually binds to that and

41:26 the operator for the lack opera. you can see how both both are

41:33 and it comes together. So now have a polymerase, can't do

41:38 can't get around that. OK. there's no expression. OK? Um

41:44 if we have ll Latos present, binds, right? And you get

41:49 . So the active and inactive right? The active one blocks

41:54 the inactive one, you get right? And you only get the

41:59 form if the inducer is present the lactose right now, lol lactose only

42:05 if we have lactose, right? um OK. So that's, that's

42:11 layer of it. OK. So questions about that part of it?

42:18 the next layer is the glucose glucose . OK. Um Make sure you

42:24 questions out there. OK. So so here this kind of this question

42:31 meant to kind of address that part it. OK. So high level

42:38 of the lactose operon requires all of steps except what? So this is

42:49 glu glucose comes in. OK. does it do do? Mhm mm

43:29 . A couple of seconds here. OK. Let's count down to

43:55 OK. Um It is see So um obviously high level expression would

44:08 the absence, maybe it's not obvious it does the absence of glucose,

44:14 of lactose, absence of glucose. . Uh A repressor bound with AOL

44:19 means we are inactivating the repressor. you, you want that um we

44:26 mentioned we need D uh And so , you need e that's that

44:33 that complex uh like A MP. the CRP, the protein that binds

44:41 it to make it complex. You that. That's gonna act as an

44:44 . OK? Um But this, is controlled by this. OK?

44:54 The levels of cyclic A MP, , are controlled by. And what

45:02 that is glucose, glucose levels control um cyclic A MP levels.

45:08 Uh So we're gonna see how how that layer fits here.

45:13 Um Because what you need is you high levels like A P to get

45:19 level expression. OK? Um All . So here um so again,

45:28 we're forming is an activator that's gonna us get even more lactose expression.

45:35 , glucose, uh I'm sorry, alone isn't enough, right? So

45:38 have to manipulate the cyclic A MP . And what does that is the

45:45 of glucose? OK. So um there's uh optimal levels of cyclic A

45:53 , right, it will bind to cyclic A MP receptor. So they

45:57 a complex, right? And they together at the uh promoter.

46:03 And so assuming that you've got, know, the all lactose present in

46:08 binding to repressor to get that off there. OK? Then to get

46:13 , that's and so that's not enough just getting this right this to come

46:21 right into that form because we have , which made all lactose to bind

46:26 if you get it off. That's not enough. You don't get

46:29 lot of expression. So you have have activators bound to the promoter to

46:36 get the ply binding to it, get expression. OK. So

46:41 what controls is glucose? OK. and again, like I mentioned

46:46 glucose is uh a more streamlined carbon if you will, right? It

46:54 it can come into the cell. remember as it comes into the

46:57 it gets um the the the way transported, it gets modified,

47:02 Phosphate to glucose, six phosphate and right into glycolysis, right? Um

47:09 sugars typically have one or more steps get it processed, but it can

47:15 into glyco. And so of that's something that takes time and if

47:20 is present, it will override it it will be used first.

47:24 So, so how glucose affects cyclic is in terms of levels. So

47:29 glucose, low psychic A MP OK. Low glucose, high psychic

47:34 MP. OK. I think it's to um to somewhat to the levels

47:41 some kind of uh an indicator in cell is uh a ATP ad P

47:50 . OK? And I think this also to the cyclic A MP because

47:54 need, you need these components to a MP. And so um this

48:00 kind of an energy uh indicator in cell. Typically you want ratios of

48:05 1.5 and you don't need to know , but uh a 1.5 ratio is

48:11 of a healthy cell. It's you have like a little bit of surplus

48:14 A TP over AD P. And if you find that, OK.

48:18 , there's no glucose, maybe that goes down, right? And uh

48:24 can affect like A P levels. that if there's a little sugar out

48:28 , it will readily be used. ? So it has something to kind

48:32 , that's kind of, I think they're tie it together kind of and

48:36 glucose can influence the levels here. . So uh so the bottom line

48:41 that's why you have to have glucose , right? Or low levels of

48:46 . OK? Because then you get high levels of ST like E

48:50 So you get more of these little thingies, right? And so now

48:54 get lots of binding, these are that can then buy into this and

49:01 plop onto the promoter. I love . OK? So um lactose present

49:09 absent um gives you high level OK? And so the um mechanism

49:20 we call this metabolite repression, So, catabolite are basically um molecules

49:29 for energy, right? So the like metabolism. So it's a,

49:34 a intermediate inca tabs and some kind catabolite pathway. So which lactose

49:39 it can be broken down, And so uh glucose exerts depression over

49:47 things like lactose and sucrose and nanos they happen to be around glucose is

49:54 one, right. Use it first then then the other things OK?

50:00 that's what gives you what they call growth. Basically think of it as

50:05 looks like a, a fed uh a a fed batch growth

50:10 You have one hump and then another . OK? As we'll see,

50:14 ? So here we go. So you have lactose, glucose and lactose

50:20 . OK? You use glucose OK? And then once it's

50:28 then do you, do you switch lactose? That's what that kind of

50:33 rose curve if you will. Uh using one source and the next

50:38 . OK. So um so if you, we're gonna, we're

50:44 put cyclic A and P levels, ? So with A and P

50:52 right? And getting higher. And I think API OK. And so

51:00 glucose is used up, you those levels begin to rise and once

51:04 is gone, then you get and is present, of course, throughout

51:08 whole time, then it switches over that one. OK. And so

51:13 the molecular level, what's going on ? Is this? OK? We

51:18 glucose uh as I said, it in and gets phosphorated, right?

51:22 so of course, the protein that it in contains the phosphate group.

51:27 . And so as, as the is taken off of these subunits and

51:35 to glucose, right? It's now phosphorated. OK. And in particular

51:42 this two a unit that is OK. So it loses the

51:48 gives it the glucose and that enables to interact with lactose. OK?

51:54 permeates, excuse me, lactose OK. And so basically shuts it

51:59 . It's like a plug. Glucose come into the cell now.

52:04 Because of this, this component that's un phosphorated, pardon the glucose

52:10 mechanism. OK? And so when is absent, well, then you

52:14 have that because it's phosphorated. And lactose is free to OK.

52:21 that's at the molecular level. That's going on. OK. So um

52:28 uh so let's look at um let's at I'm trying to see what's here

52:36 . OK. So here's kind of , the whole gist of it.

52:39 uh let's just look at this here or in addition to OK. And

52:44 again, this is what's available to on canvas. OK? I think

52:49 might find it helpful. Oops, it. Yeah. There we

52:56 All right. Um Shut up. right. So lack opera. Uh

53:04 Of course, it's a small segment the chromosome obviously. And so um

53:10 up of it. So we're gonna the genes we just talked about

53:16 right? Like Zy and A, A doesn't really do anything,

53:22 in terms of this function. um, and it's kind of fast

53:27 , hurt a little bit. All right. So here we got

53:34 out here, right? And your perm ase, OK. And

53:42 um, so that lactose present, course, we have very low levels

53:51 expression. OK? Says here, than 10 molecules, right? Um

53:58 . So here we go. Uh right, it's kind of slow.

54:03 . So there's, there's the lac repressor, right? That's gonna code

54:06 the repressor protein, right? Um see there transcript and then so

54:16 DNA RN A protein, right? lack of pressure in that state it

54:23 . So here's the operator sequence for Black Opera and the lac repressor,

54:29 ? So it kind of comes together um like so and so that's not

54:38 that Arnie polymerase can't even transcribe, ? Physically blind from it.

54:45 So there goes are, you can't anything. Goodbye. Um Now,

54:55 mentioned, you can get a fraction the time when it is exposed,

55:02 get a little bit of expression. ? Because remember we need that for

55:06 lack Y in particular, OK. so again, again, we're talking

55:10 a couple molecules only, right? high level. And so um there's

55:17 lactose, so disaccharide. So you the two units there and the processing

55:24 lactose like break that apart, but likes does that and um also forms

55:37 all lactose. OK. Can you this up here a little bit?

55:42 we go. There it is. so let's go here. All

55:51 So there's our or ply race. in that scenario, inducers bound,

55:57 get transcription expression. So glucose absent present right, hundredfold, higher

56:09 Uh So that's induction. OK. um activator. So here's our activator

56:20 absence, high psychic A MP levels uh and activator forms. OK.

56:28 , um then in next scenario, present lactose present, OK.

56:39 right? Bring a MP production, ? So we don't have the activator

56:45 um and blocking transporter lactose into the . OK? Um So,

56:55 and here's this OK. We see here as we just saw and so

57:07 . OK. Once glucose is utilized we use lactose. OK. Um

57:15 that's like a tablo repression effect. right. Um By looking at

57:22 are there now we're going to tryptophan . So any questions about glucose?

57:30 the lack opera? Excuse me. . So I think it helps look

57:33 the animation. Um certainly review the lecture. Uh But you're gonna

57:39 to be able to contrast, compare Black Opera Opera. OK. Um

57:48 you know, from the mechanic mechanistic , it still a regulatory protein binding

57:53 an operator, but it's just conditions gonna change. OK. Ok.

58:43 count that here. I read, it myself. I'm looking at this

58:46 in a while. The ID is . The Tryptophan corepressor is tryptophan itself

58:52 that's the only one that fits. . So, um, ah,

59:02 we go. Ok. So, , yeah, so, crypt Thehan

59:07 is a anabolic pathway. It's about crypto. Yeah. So, let's

59:12 at, um, let's look at question. It, it just goes

59:17 kind of why it works the way does. Why the tryptophan, let

59:22 back up. Why the tryptophan Operon the way it does. It's kind

59:26 based on this. All right. which Operon could e coli live without

59:31 you had a mutant, the chances that mutant living are greater if you

59:41 um if you have this one rather not having it, it lacks this

59:46 and it probably is not gonna OK. 543. Ask yourself the

60:21 question. Which opera can you? not opera? Which, which metabolic

60:27 can you not live without? Which ? Which one do you have to

60:35 ? Does everybody in the world eat ? No. Does everybody in the

60:40 need to make crypto fan? Every protein in your body has to

60:46 at least one tryptophan in it. you're not making tryptophan, you ain't

60:50 those proteins. You did. So, absolutely, I can eat

60:55 bazillion things. It can eat tons different sugars, fats proteins. Whatever

61:03 is just one little grape on the . OK. So, absolutely,

61:10 can live without lactose o on. there are E CO S that,

61:15 don't even, there are mutants. can't use it and they live just

61:18 . Right. But they don't live trip defense. You gotta make

61:22 OK. So the trip OPERON um the structural genes uh are enzymes

61:33 synthesize tryptophan. OK. Using this compound called charis mate. Don't worry

61:40 that. OK. The thing to is that it's, it's not tryptophan

61:46 , right? We're not breaking tryptophan , we're making it OK? So

61:50 a kind of anabolic pathway. Um So repression, right? So

61:57 they, what they call the April , OK. This form here is

62:02 inactive form. OK? So the itself, so the tryptophan is uh

62:08 present little or no, the crypto , we have what's called de

62:13 That means we are un unpressed. go that way. So we are

62:18 expression, right? If there's no thehan present, then the cell is

62:25 using it as fast as it's being . OK? So which means it's

62:31 accumulated, right? Because remember we're this material, it's gotta be going

62:37 , right? So, um so it is accumulating, right, then

62:45 must mean the cell doesn't need, have a use for it,

62:48 Otherwise it would be going away as as being used. But if there's

62:52 use for it, it accumulates. . So in that scenario is when

62:59 binds to the A O repressor creating holo repressor, the whole repressor because

63:07 acts as a corepressor, right? corepressor plus a repressor holo receptor polo

63:13 . Excuse me. So that's the repressor form. OK. So

63:18 if crypto fan is present, But so remember, you know,

63:23 all generating from here, right? presumably the cell needs it,

63:31 For protein synthesis primarily, right? if the demand is not there,

63:40 it accumulates. OK. Um I it's like a uh guy gal loading

63:50 her um Amazon prime truck with OK. So you're throwing them in

63:58 truck, right? So as fast they're coming off the conveyor belt,

64:02 throwing them in the truck. Nothing is accumulating. OK? Doesn't

64:06 to accumulate until the truck is right? Then where's it going has

64:11 ? As photo can't put in Then you have boxes piling up,

64:14 ? So now we can, the are crypto fan. Now it's available

64:19 bind to repressor. OK. so the question is, right?

64:27 Whether you're uh in the, so active hoop pressure binds to the operator

64:35 expression. So again, it's, know, like LAC Operon,

64:40 It's about the, the active repressor is what blocks expression. OK?

64:46 the conditions that cause it here are from what had happened in the LA

64:51 . But the active repressor role is same block expression. OK. So

64:56 question is, when would it be ? When would tryptophan be present?

65:02 . So this question here is meant address that. OK. When would

65:09 fan begin to accumulate in a OK. So you got mid log

65:16 log with crypto fans being decol or of the above? OK. When

65:27 tryptophan begin to accumulate and eat the ? Mhm OK. Cutting down from

66:10 21. OK. OK. So see who, who picked um c

66:29 picked c why did you pick C Yeah. Mhm. Right. So

66:41 late log, they would have, , they're becoming limited, so they're

66:45 limited for growth, right? And in mid log, they're growing like

66:50 , right? So in mid they're really not limited for anything.

66:53 when the cells are their fattest, ? Then they're dividing like like

66:58 And so um they're not really limited anything in that mid law.

67:03 And so naturally Tryptophan is gonna be off the assembly line who make protein

67:08 protein divide, divide divide, It's not until you get to the

67:13 late log is the, the Amazon truck is almost full, right?

67:18 put any more boxes in there. . So 50 fan accumulates and it's

67:23 happen in late log. OK? the Tryptophan being made, there's not

67:29 demand so very quickly, then it's shut that off. OK. So

67:35 not mid, mid log is, happy as a clam, right?

67:38 growing like nuts, right? Not for anything. OK? But it

67:43 out of that until late log. it's gonna put the brakes on

67:47 OK? Because still division is going , right? You'll have the same

67:51 for proteins being made, ok? It's obviously not one trip. The

67:56 is being kept the tab like that's if you never, if you never

68:01 do that this, it's not it's being used. OK? So

68:07 about uh so the accumulation is tied what's the need of the cell?

68:12 I growing like crazy? I need of proteins. I need tryptophan because

68:18 , like I said, I'm gonna that every protein in the cell has

68:21 least one tryptophan, right? If not, if you're, if you

68:27 are becoming limited, then you don't it. OK? Slow down.

68:34 ? Because you're just wasting energy OK? Um Many questions about

68:40 OK? Oh OK. Um So is part one. OK. So

68:54 , look at the animations which is kind of confusing, look at the

68:58 and it helps you can put the caption on it. OK? But

69:02 all I got today folks. We'll up part two Thursday. OK?

69:08 a good
