00:22 Mhm. Ok, you yeah, welcome. So let's see. Um

01:00 the stuff I sent you an email but um the, the what bears

01:07 is the cost of schedule. So you're, you're set on a set

01:12 a particular time, um So it's open tonight. All right, scheduler

01:17 exam three opens tonight, uh which guess is 12 AM on Friday

01:24 Um Anyway, uh so we're gonna up chapter nine and get into chapter

01:32 . Uh No, weekly quiz opens . The weekly quiz covers um stuff

01:38 , it's only like seven questions or questions or something. It's covers 78

01:44 nine material, not 10. That will be next week. Uh

01:53 , um, what else? So week, uh we'll wrap up the

01:58 three, then we'll start the last . Ok, the week after.

02:04 , uh the, the game is for a couple of weeks.

02:06 um lot of time because uh let's . So any uh particular questions about

02:16 , anybody here. So we're gonna into deregulation midway through today. Uh

02:24 Operon, we'll start with that. it it, I assume some of

02:27 have gone through Lack Operon already. . Black Operon. Black Operon?

02:33 . Ok. All right. Um , so if you have,

02:39 then you'll get it again. So , maybe you'll learn something different.

02:44 , anyway, so a little bit a recap from last time.

02:51 So I remember this. Um, talking about in Chapter nine is really

02:58 poos, I guess you'd say can genetic variation. OK. So what

03:06 look at a back? OK. divided by para those are just direct

03:11 of each other. And of we know that's not the case,

03:16 ? So, uh even with that of asexuals reproduction, there are of

03:23 , thousands of variants of E for example, and other bacterial species

03:28 uh those differences occur through mutation. ? Um A what's called a spontaneous

03:37 rate, mistakes actually occur during DNA . OK? It happens to you

03:44 well. But there are mechanisms to these mistakes. OK. Uh Ours

03:51 pretty good. So we have a good repair rate, I guess you'd

03:55 it um bacteria. A kea uh an order of magnitude less.

04:02 It's about one in a million spontaneous occurs one in a million times.

04:07 stick it, it'll, it'll stay is not fixed rather. And so

04:13 so that little bit higher sputation, mutation rate coupled with a high reproductive

04:20 to multiply quickly, right? Means a colony probably on a plate that

04:26 I don't know, 10 million cells something, there will be a small

04:30 there that will have mutations. Um So that right. Um plus

04:39 the horizontal gene transfer, this mechanism began talking about. So, of

04:46 , remember transmission, right? That's you acquired your genus. That's how

04:51 daughter cells from the products of battery . That's those cells, you

04:55 require the uh acquired genes that of course. Um but horizontal gene

05:01 , right? So it's four right? We've talked about two of

05:05 uh transformation. So basically just an of DNA from the environment. The

05:10 we look at kind of a couple differences uh gram positive gram negative,

05:15 of the gram negative had this by , more complex uh process involving cells

05:23 competent, right? That then led a then that leading to the formation

05:29 the mechanism, the transformer om that physically takes in the DNA.

05:35 So, and this was one of cell density dependent processes, right?

05:42 cells had to be present to accumulate of these competence factors. If that

05:47 , then the process kicked in There are negatives relatively simple that can

05:52 this. OK. Basically a pylos plots can grab on to DNA and

05:57 it into the cell, you little bit more to it. But

06:01 know, basically that's what it those that can do it, not

06:04 bacteria can uh or, or, what we call naturally transformable. Uh

06:11 are but many aren't as well. . So it's all, it's all

06:14 of a species dependent thing. So uh conjugation was the other mechanism

06:21 look then, right? So that's little more complicated cell, cell,

06:25 cell, two cells coming together, them ma in quotations, mating

06:30 OK. F F N F plus F minus. OK. And uh

06:35 specific genes involved. So having these and of course, the these are

06:41 a plasmin. OK. And so a plasmin is termed F plus containing

06:48 genes here that enable it to, call it, we call it,

06:52 mobilize the plasmid, move it copy and move it to the

06:57 So we look at three variations of , right. So we have the

07:02 , the basic F plus uh F uh mating. OK. Um Where

07:10 F plus A requires the plasmid becomes plus itself. Um the H F

07:17 . So, so the integration of plasma into the genome into the

07:23 OK. Um But remember that, that then he the chromosome possessing that

07:29 factor. Now basically think of it a gigantic plasma that can be copied

07:35 transferred. But we know that um how much information gets passed between the

07:43 . It taught me the pinner of When the connection between them occurs,

07:48 ? Because that's the, that's how it's passing between the two cells so

07:52 longer they're together, the more information be required. And so they have

07:57 stay together for a long time, minutes, two hours. And that's

08:01 long time when you consider the environment in and likely molecules and other cells

08:07 off of them. So those connections be broken. So it's, that's

08:12 it's very unlikely if ever will an chromosome be passed through. Right.

08:17 , remember because of that, the factor itself is at their very

08:22 So if it were to be pretty much, the whole chromosome had

08:25 be copied into because that's where it on the last part. So that

08:29 happens, which is why the F stays has an F minus.

08:36 But it's still acquired, right? some new genes here. OK?

08:44 you can pass those on right through need transfer. OK. Now,

08:51 uh just for a second, just . So the, the recoin recomb

08:56 all these mechanisms, recombination is always a part of it, right?

09:00 , to make that uh DNA, it's a fragment, a part of

09:04 chromosome, uh plasmin can integrate, , the H F R formation,

09:09 is all recombination. Um And then have prime uh feature here,

09:15 So this is all relates to that's the nature of our cell,

09:21 ? And then this F factor excising it doesn't happen cleanly, right?

09:28 kind of skewed if you will. instead of just the red part coming

09:33 , it's something like that. So it shifts one way or the

09:37 as it comes out, not a rare occurrence, but when it

09:41 happen, it then can lead to uh a gene from the chromosome coming

09:48 that plasma. OK. And then mate with another cell. And then

09:52 when you make, make it a deploy for me, right?

09:54 this goes into a conjugates with a containing an A gene already. And

10:00 it has two copies of it. . So um so the F prime

10:04 F R um F plus F F meetings. OK. So um you

10:12 , as we go, so, we have the two we have left

10:14 do are these two transduction transposition. don't think of any four of these

10:19 as yeah, oddball obscure kind of once in a blue moon things,

10:27 know, if the opportunity is it will do these things and it's

10:31 can be very significant, right? we saw an E coli a

10:34 almost a quarter of its chromosome is to be due to acquisition of genes

10:39 these mechanisms, right? So it's a, a rare or trivial

10:43 It's, it's a, it's a definite significant way in which material cells

10:49 , can variation. OK. So all right, is there any questions

10:57 these two things? OK. So look at um transduction So you think

11:04 , first thing in your head is , right? Virus is the go

11:10 . OK. It's the vehicle to the DNA from one cell to

11:15 So remember uh lighting viruses and lysogenic . That's really the the that's what

11:25 the two types of transduction. So generalized transduction is due to a

11:34 felt the Ticha like cycle basically is you get generalized transduction. The lysogenic

11:43 . Remember that lambda age, that's one you can bring that brings about

11:47 specialized transduction. OK. So that's of the way to differentiate these two

11:52 . Um So we already aware of both these cycles work. So here

11:59 our cycle. Uh B inserts its and then viral replication begins. And

12:08 the host DNA is um it becomes as well fragmented. And so of

12:15 , it's when it's just all of of this is is an error in

12:20 , right? So as the viral are assembling, right? It packages

12:27 host DNA into the cell. And so what happens then as this

12:34 uh assemble and form and then lice cell, those types like this.

12:41 guys here will infect a new OK. And so now and so

12:48 it it is still infectious, Because it has the part, the

12:52 are to recognize the host on the , right? Bin it and then

12:57 the DNA. But but this is going to turn into the viral

13:03 right? It's not gonna be copied then viral protein because it doesn't contain

13:07 it contains DNA from that host, . So it's one of these fragments

13:16 that ended up that, that will up into the cell. So they

13:20 it generalized because theoretically any gene genes any of these fragments can be

13:31 right? So generally, basically any in that previous host can be packaged

13:36 sent to another cell. OK. , uh and of course,

13:40 again, recombination, right, And so this new host is acquiring

13:47 genes or genes from a previous previously host. OK. That's generalized

13:53 OK. Specialized transduction again is with isogenic phau, right? Lambda,

14:00 saw that one before. So we that it forms a prophage,

14:04 integrates its uh chromosome into the host . So, but that insertion is

14:12 just randomly anywhere in the E coli , it's a specific site and that

14:20 is called att right here, there's att P and B and that's where

14:27 inserts itself. OK. And um and so that relates to why

14:36 what can be passed on through Very specialized, it's very restricted.

14:43 ? Only the genes that are in vicinity. This one, this

14:49 maybe there's something right here or right . OK. That's it. All

14:55 . It's not that it's not theoretically to have any gene in that E

15:00 trans transferred it this way only what's the vic city of the ends of

15:06 pro right? The two red right? And because what happens is

15:14 thing will excise, right? It's it comes out, right? So

15:18 Lygen phase can come out and then the lighting phase cycle. OK.

15:24 when it does that, it's taking this case, the galactose gene,

15:30 right. So G A L is galactus glucose is a sugar,

15:34 So it's a, it's a, a pathway to break down uh this

15:38 sugar. The other one is one biotin synthesis. This is an enzyme

15:42 in or co factor involved in Uh in any case that's irrelevant.

15:47 the point is um as this prophage itself, it's doing it kind

15:57 it's kind of miss shifting as it out, right? So in this

16:01 , we're kind of shifted this So instead of the purple sequence coming

16:06 is purple minus that. But plus OK? It's kind of like that's

16:13 coming out. OK. So we're behind part of the lambda age

16:20 right? But gaining a part of E coli DNA, OK. In

16:25 process, it could just as easily have shifted this way and it could

16:29 biote galactose but not this example, glutose. OK. And so now

16:35 see the galactose gene ends up in lambda phase DNA. And so this

16:41 then uh infect the next host. . And then that new E coli

16:48 has an extra copy. So that is the that partial bit.

16:55 So, so of course, I you recall, this looks very similar

17:03 the um F prime, right F formation. So um that, that's

17:10 based on the a weird excision. , where it takes a part of

17:17 chromosome with it. OK. So , the only, the only genes

17:22 can be transferred here are either biotin or something very close to it.

17:29 . Um Many questions about that, ? So the kind of thing is

17:36 do see ending up in bacterial cells are, that are due to transduction

17:42 often times. Um We'll see examples this in the end like cholera to

17:48 one that's acquired through transduction and some uh toxins um are acquired this

17:55 Uh Now, um the last 4th or transposes elements. OK. So

18:06 if I had to um estimate which four is probably the more prevalent,

18:13 would say it's likely gonna be the transformation conjugation, trans transduction mechanisms,

18:20 transposition. Uh there are a few resistances passed this way. But uh

18:28 I think the more three other mechanisms more prevalent in terms of frequency of

18:35 , but nonetheless, um transposes elements present in, I think almost all

18:40 the things we have them as well they are basically small segments of DNA

18:48 uh jump around. They were called genes. It was discovery of

18:53 Um And they can affect, uh can insert themselves and affect uh expression

19:00 certain genes. They can think they're in regulation of certain genes. Um

19:06 can be bad as well causing inserting and mutating genes as well.

19:11 um but, you know, don't of these as like jumping beings that

19:16 just continually popping in different places in chromosome. It, it doesn't occur

19:21 frequently. OK? Um It's, a process that solves. So is

19:26 is controlled to a degree because you want that happening. You don't want

19:31 sequences jumping here and there and everywhere all kinds of problems. But they

19:35 have do have a role. Um in with bacteria, it's a way

19:42 formula to transfer genes to another OK. So the the um trans

19:52 elements. So there's actually two OK? One type is the

19:59 OK. Another type is actually what's an insertion sequence. So these are

20:05 one and this one. OK. one, that's two, those are

20:11 two types of transpose bos what you in the diagram is an assertion

20:17 OK? Because all it contains is we call an inverted repeat in the

20:26 gene. So all transposes elements have in common. OK? Because that's

20:34 enzyme that allows it to cut out then recombine elsewhere. So they all

20:39 that So, and, and I'm repeat is simply just a sequence.

20:44 you look at a A T C A T 53. It's the same

20:49 here, right? Just going in opposite direction. So just inadvertent.

20:54 a repeated sequence that's just inverted. . And so uh of course,

20:59 the middle here is the transpose H , right? So that is

21:04 that's an insertion sequence. The most type of transposes I want.

21:09 The transposon is this but has one more genes in there besides the one

21:17 transposes. OK. So something that be antibiotic resistance gene, what have

21:24 ? But that's the transpo is a bit more complex containing more and more

21:28 besides the transpo. OK? And there's kind of two ways it can

21:36 , it can uh it can be cut and paste or copy and

21:40 OK. So in other words, , the transposon transposes element uh is

21:48 one location, makes a copy and goes to another location. So I

21:52 two, right? That's what we replicate um replicator uh transposition.

22:01 If it's in one spot and then itself out and goes to another spot

22:04 it's no longer there, that's cut paste. So that's non rep.

22:09 ? So both types, the transpo element can be one of those two

22:14 . OK? And so the um so in terms of, of transferring

22:22 like this to a cell. You can have what are called um

22:29 transposon. OK. So they have of course, the transpose a but

22:34 also have the, the elements that it to conjugate, right? Sex

22:39 transfer genes, et cetera. And so how this happens is the

22:47 transposon will um excise and circularize. . And then it will carry out

23:01 process we've seen before. Rolling circle . The the um of course,

23:06 cells coming together rolling circle replication, the plasmid or, or the the

23:12 into the other cell. And then now have two cells, you a

23:19 of that transposon. OK. The is the cells will not remain in

23:27 state. It's only a transient The transposon is meant to integrate.

23:32 it'll go into this form here where integrate into the chromosome. OK.

23:39 again, these are certain types of have disability. OK. Uh Another

23:45 it could happen as well is if have cam a cell that has,

23:53 its chromosome. OK? Has a for that, right? That's an

24:00 plus platinum. OK? Like we've before. All right. And so

24:07 transposon could be sitting in a So T N is short for

24:16 Um And so it could um as copying and pasting or cutting and

24:24 it could just go into the class that. OK? And uh end

24:29 in a F plus plants. So they can just undergo normal conjugation and

24:36 are not gonna be passed that So in the recipient cell, it

24:43 , it could then in this state this cell receives it, OK.

24:53 a chromosome. Now, it's gotten plasmid. It's become F plus.

24:59 the transpo on Nico do that theoretically back in to the crumble.

25:05 So that's possible as well. And been seen too. OK? How

25:11 this mechanism is, I'm not but definitely this has been document and

25:16 worked out. OK? But both these are possible. OK? Just

25:22 on hit or right on something, think of it that way. Um

25:30 any questions? All right. So here should be kind of if you

25:35 , you know the different, the of the different um mechanism that you

25:40 , OK? This is what you with that. This is how it

25:42 with this one and this doesn't happen this cell, those kind of those

25:46 of things. OK? Um All . So let's switch to um chapter

25:56 in regulation. OK. So we of go back to some of the

26:00 seven uh stuff in, in the of OPERON and, and how they

26:06 and that kind of thing. So um all right, let's start

26:11 the questions. So we're gonna have few questions in this section here.

26:15 with an easy one. OK. , so just kind of your answer

26:21 this. So, regulation of right? So remember that super important

26:28 gene expression obviously is important because it , you know, the response occurred

26:34 a situation, but you, you express stuff, express genes all the

26:41 , right? A you hardly ever all those uh large fractions of genes

26:46 ever. OK? Um two, always remember that gene expression, the

26:55 application, these are processes that build , right? These are all gonna

26:58 energy requiring. So you're gonna be , efficient from what one does.

27:03 . And not just um waste So um from that aspect, regulations

27:11 important as expression. OK. It's counted down from 10.

27:33 All right. Delay. Oh There is. It is a delay.

27:42 , I'd be, I'd be shocked it weren't 99%. So yeah,

27:46 course, it's, it's right that does the work for the most

27:51 Um So the um so what are types of stimuli cells gonna respond

28:00 Right. Well, you can probably your own list here. Everything from

28:05 molecules that are out there are the molecules out there? Are there micros

28:08 are toxic out there? Is What's the, what are the oxygen

28:12 ? What's the um what is the P H uh is there something I

28:19 eat out there that's suitable? What's sodium concentration? And am I in

28:24 stress? Uh temperature? Um a of different things, right. So

28:31 got to be some kind of counteraction that either good or bad uh in

28:35 to survive. And so, um have to convert that signal into something

28:41 the cell that will create an right, make proteins. And so

28:46 , there's not always have to be proteins, but that's not, that's

28:50 a a uh that's the most common . So some kind of sensor protein

28:55 interact with the signal to then uh about this is often where you get

29:02 the induction of uh different molecules that turn on things involved in regulation,

29:10 ? We'll talk about things like activators repressors and things. So oftentimes it's

29:16 that are produced that work on those either shut off expression or promote

29:22 OK? Uh Transcription factors, they often a part of this as

29:26 OK. So whatever the whatever, , the signal gets turned into

29:31 you're gonna get gene expression interaction with , right? Promoters and uh producing

29:40 protein typically sometimes the product may be R N A. OK? It

29:45 depends, but very often it is protein. OK. So then uh

29:53 levels of control. So let's look this. So identifying the right term

30:01 the type of control, because remember translation, right? At all those

30:06 , you can control expression and there's , categories of each type.

30:12 So here we have a trip to opera on trying to oper on expression

30:17 be controlled by crypto itself. Inhibiting of the enzymes responsible for its

30:24 That's what the OPERON does. We'll about this at the very end of

30:28 . But the, the structural genes the OPERON code for enzymes that are

30:34 for making crypto. OK. So of the controls there is crypto

30:41 can actually control its own expression. ? And this is, let me

30:47 this again. OK? Well, it. I meant to stop

30:50 but uh go ahead and answer. it's meant to um so you have

30:57 categories uh putting different names and these of control. OK. Yes.

31:06 . So we're counting down from OK? Looks like we had a

31:23 . Mm I think he probably shouldn't changed. Does not see. So

31:30 all right. So looking at different , so translational control, think of

31:36 involved in translation, right? right? That's one way to control

31:45 , affect ribosome function. OK? Control the level of DNA definitely can

31:52 that. Altering nucleotides can even take of a, of a DNA out

31:58 rearrange it and that can affect OK. But the key here is

32:03 crypto itself inhibiting one of the enzymes enzymes are what into the P

32:16 OK? And so proteins are a of posttranslational control. OK?

32:26 you transcribe, you translate, you make a protein, right? So

32:31 comes after translation, posttranslational. So here we see the different

32:37 OK. Um So the answer here post translational. Um So looking at

32:47 different levels here. OK. So mentioned, beating, we start,

32:53 there. OK? Uh We'll look this process uh next week.

32:59 Phase variation that's actually taking a segment DNA or rearranging it and you affect

33:07 expression. OK. Uh nucleotide right? Uh epigenetics, right?

33:14 can alter the uh the DNA nucleotides effect expression that way. Um going

33:22 next step transcription. OK. So can have um I didn't break it

33:28 to all the different levels here. can have transcription of control, which

33:33 not, is not the M R A transcript. It's before then.

33:42 . It's, are you gonna allow to do its job and make the

33:47 ? All right. That's a lot the, and that's a very common

33:50 . Procaryotes control their genes as OK? That's what we see in

33:56 lactose operon, a trip operon. . That's where the interaction with the

34:01 of ex expression, right? So you do have the transcript, what

34:08 you still do? Well, that falls under post transcription. So here

34:15 made the transcript, OK. And um that is, you can affect

34:26 N A stability, right? So R A stability. So in

34:31 M R N A s only gonna on the order of minutes once they're

34:35 . OK? Because you always make if you need to um it's not

34:40 wise to keep M R N A around forever because if they're there,

34:44 be translated and the cell may not those proteins. So that's why M

34:48 N A s kind of have a lifetime if you will. OK,

34:52 get rid of them. Uh if they're there, they're gonna make

34:55 and we believe we may be wasting for something we don't need. So

34:59 so they kind of just degrade uh new cars. They can,

35:03 they're more stable, they can last , not minutes, more like

35:08 sometimes even days or longer, just on the type. But nonetheless,

35:13 can affect, if you affect M A stability, you can affect

35:16 OK? Um Translational control, um ribosome function. So anything to derive

35:26 , whether it's putting a protein in to block its ability to translate um

35:34 a, is a, is a . OK? Then post translation.

35:40 . So um basically, you can a protein, put phosphate on it

35:45 activate or inactivate it. You can just degrade it and get rid of

35:51 all together. OK. So, or you can bind something to the

35:58 to make it inactive, right? kind of how the trip the fan

36:02 its thing. OK. So uh different levels, right? All the

36:06 to transcription translation. OK? And can all occur, all of these

36:12 occur. So, if you're, actually expressing them in particular gene or

36:16 and genes and opera, all of can be combination, these can be

36:22 together, of course. OK. um let's oops gotta mention this.

36:30 ? Because the genes, so where I'm gonna say most genes are under

36:38 kind of control? There is a set. Remember those core genes we

36:42 about, right? Those typically things in DNA DNA replication and protein

36:49 um certain metabolic pathways that like cause cycle, et cetera. These are

36:55 that are always running more or right? So you always need gonna

36:59 the, the proteins for these. so these are what we call constituted

37:03 pretty much always. Um And so look at this one. So here

37:10 gonna get into some of the terminology when talking about um gene regulation.

37:21 ? It's like repressors, activators, depression induction, um like a terms

37:31 are used at um we'll go over . OK. So what, what

37:39 be confusing is the conditions which allow expression. These can be widely

37:45 OK. If you look at the opera Tripen Operon, they basically have

37:50 ways in which they, they get same results. OK. Um In

37:57 part, it relates to the type opera, it is what's what it's

38:03 in metabolism wise. OK. So turn the timer on. OK.

38:39 . By the operator sequence. So that's a major controlled elements in

38:47 So the operator sequence interacting with a . So uh the, the definition

38:55 active repressor um is the same no what kind of opera or system you're

39:03 about, what varies is how it active. That can be very

39:09 OK. But anything involving an active means you're not promoting transcription, you're

39:15 it. OK. Uh Induction relates expression. So if you induce genes

39:21 allowing to express. So it doesn't anything to do with that. Uh

39:26 of course relates to a, Um D repress. So if you're

39:33 something, you're stopping it. If de repressing, you're allowing it to

39:38 . So like the repressor promotes not de repression. OK? But

39:46 it does bind to an operator. . So uh so let's look

39:52 I will use these terms. So here is just a generic example

39:58 a gene. OK? Got your , got your regulatory sequence. All

40:04 . And what we're gonna look at how many bacterial operon work? The

40:09 sequence is an operator. OK. , um so then there's a regulatory

40:17 which are many times called repressors. . So here's a couple of scenarios

40:24 how we're gonna control this thing. . So when we look at

40:29 de repression versus um repression, de repression is genes are turned

40:37 OK? And so here would be scenario where we have a repressor

40:42 OK. So here's induction and you the just approaching itself as, as

40:48 operator or regulatory sequence, OK. that blocks. So right here it

40:54 be a promoter. OK? Sequence be like right here and so

41:01 your plumbers will be sitting there and can't, can't get around there has

41:04 accidents. Can't, can't go any . OK. So to remove the

41:09 , you have what's called an inducer binds, changes the shape proteins,

41:15 molecules, changes shape, right? now we can no longer find the

41:20 , OK? Or operator sequence or the regulatory sequence is. OK.

41:25 it comes off. So we've gone an active repressor on top to an

41:31 one at the bottom. OK? um repression often involves a corepressor.

41:41 ? And this leads to turning gene off. OK. So in d

41:49 , um so we have a repressor plus a corepressor. OK? Comes

41:57 to form the active complex and that the operator or whatever the regulatory sequence

42:04 . When it goes away, then becomes de repressed unbinds, you can

42:11 transcription. OK? So you can there an active repressor here and an

42:19 one down here are very different One has a molecule bound to it

42:24 make it active. The other if it hasn't, might go back

42:28 it, it's inactive, right? inducer thing. This, so 22

42:34 conditions producing an active or inactive OK? And in a nutshell,

42:40 is basically the LA OPERON. This the trip opera T R P is

42:48 trip. That's how they both We'll look at a little bit more

42:52 the intricacies, but that's in basic how both of those differ.

42:58 So, yeah, and it turns that the, that the corepressor,

43:08 . And here the inducer you might it's lactose, but actually, it's

43:13 , a slightly different version called allo . OK? Is the inducer

43:20 Again, we'll get, we'll we're gonna go through this, all

43:24 , in a little bit. but while we're here, I just

43:27 that. Um so the thing about active active repressor, right? So

43:34 we just saw, so number the definition of an active repressor is

43:38 same no matter what, you know context we're talking about, an active

43:45 binds the regulatory sequence slash operator and transcription, right? A inaccurate repressor

43:55 do that. It, it allows expression transcription to, to occur.

43:59 that, that's always the case. just how it comes about may be

44:04 different. OK. So um all . So another thing, so it's

44:11 thing if you have, if you get expression, it's one thing to

44:18 the inactive form produced, right? that will allow for expression, but

44:23 may not always be enough, You may need to have some other

44:27 out. OK? And that other is often involvement of activators,

44:35 Scriptural activators. And so without uh , the inclusion of the activators,

44:45 only get a real low level from we talked about basal level of

44:51 OK? Um Not really enough to anything for the cell. OK.

44:57 to ramp it up, you involve . And so it's all about and

45:01 all collect, con, congregate typically the promoter. OK? And in

45:09 so greatly increase the attraction of that by the PLI race. OK?

45:16 in doing so increase expression. And it can go from like One

45:23 , one to level 1000. And how, that's how much difference we're

45:27 about here. OK. Um So um any questions so far? So

45:38 gonna look at this, the same in the context of an actual

45:42 right? So these, these things gonna come up again. OK?

45:47 So we're gonna start with La Let's just start with this question

45:50 OK. That OK. All I'm gonna turn the timer on.

47:02 is one correct thing here just in you pick e change it.

47:15 OK. OK. Uh The consensus correct. So it is b

47:38 So first and foremost, OK, you, you can get all bogged

47:45 in all the different aspects of control la Opera and how it works.

47:51 had a question from a student. was in a lecture earlier. She

47:56 waiting outside the lab. So we by and she asked, what does

48:02 LA OPERON actually do? OK. question. After having gone through all

48:07 mechanisms of control, it's you kind get lost in the weeds a little

48:12 . So for E Cola, for , it's, it's a lactose,

48:15 can use lactose. OK. But , the ability to have this pathway

48:22 to have this OPERON, it means can take lactose in A and

48:27 it can begin to metabolize it and it into glycolysis. OK? It

48:33 ferment lactose. OK. So, this operon enables it to use lactose

48:40 a energy source. If it's available the cell, that's bottom line,

48:47 ? All the things you're gonna see here, that's, that's what it

48:51 do, enables the cell to use as an energy source. OK.

48:56 um so, so having said that not about synthesis, right? It's

49:02 metabolism. It's a catalog pathway. ? Um It's an example of a

49:11 control, not post transcription. The an inactive lack repressor um doesn't

49:20 it allows expression. OK. So written B is the uh is

49:27 So lack Y is how it's going be able to find and bringing

49:34 OK. Uh I must have So um so the good news here

49:42 that we don't have to worry about gene. The lack A OK?

49:47 still don't know to this day what actually does. OK? We know

49:51 you can have E coli mutants lacking completely and it can still utilize

49:56 no problems, nothing. OK? you don't need to concern ourselves with

50:02 . Now, the one thing that tend to, you know, make

50:06 scratch their heads is this statement a low level of lack operatic

50:14 That's true. There's a reason for . Now, when I say

50:18 I mean, like super low, one or two molecules worth of stuff

50:24 made. OK? But it's essential that happen. OK. So

50:28 it's, it's, it's a minimal expenditure, but a necessary one.

50:35 . Um Now, the way this is so the lack Y and lax

50:43 are the, of course, the that we need to concern ourselves

50:47 So lack why is the way is transport protein it can bind and import

50:54 if it's present. OK. Uh this in the membrane, it would

51:01 know it could have a million molecules lactose around it. It would never

51:05 if it didn't have the lack why in the membrane somewhere. OK.

51:11 uh that kind of goes to why always has to occur. OK.

51:20 When lactose is present, it comes the cell, it's a disaccharide.

51:24 we're gonna cleave it into the two . First, we're gonna take a

51:29 bit of it and go this way make a, this is actually the

51:35 allo lactose, a kind of chemical of lactose. Um And that occurs

51:40 low levels of lac Z. So the at high levels, we

51:49 get the processing of lactose. So goes right into the glycolysis, galactose

51:57 a couple more steps to do before can go into glyco. But the

52:00 line is these are gonna be going these antibotic pathways. So OK,

52:08 to this statement here. OK. of transcription. So here is our

52:15 , there's our operon And so in condition here, right here is here

52:21 the lack repressor sitting on the OK? It's repressed, right?

52:27 expression. OK. Now, in state, if if it were this

52:34 that you the thing to remember is all these kind of binding is going

52:39 your press or operator. These are irreversible. Obviously, they come off

52:44 on right. Now if you were go down to the level of molecule

52:48 have a camera there and take a of it, OK? I don't

52:53 99,000 times out of 10, you see a very small portion of

53:02 Scratch that most of the time it's it's in that state you see

53:07 but there's that little every once in while chance why it comes off and

53:14 you get your little bit of OK? And that's what I

53:19 I mean, low, we're only about a couple of molecules worth

53:22 right? And then that thing is on the operator real quick shutting that

53:26 . OK? But you need that this is how it's gonna see that

53:33 the only way, right? And if it is out there lactose comes

53:40 like Y does its thing make some lactose and then can shut off the

53:46 . OK. Inactivate it. And we begin to make glucose and gala

53:51 cleave lactose in the glucose gluc going ? Um and so again, it

53:58 go from 1 to 10,000 or 1000 difference, excuse me, in terms

54:05 expression level. OK. So what were making one or two molecules worth

54:10 can go to thousands, which I can happen very quickly, right?

54:17 the, the low level expression you maybe produces one or two of these

54:22 white molecules. But as you ramp up, then they fill up more

54:28 them get synthesized and now lactose just pouring in. OK? And is

54:36 , right? So use as it except we don't, we don't know

54:39 rest of the story, right? it's all about having these in the

54:44 place like why in the membrane to able to see and bring it

54:47 OK. So um any questions about ? All right. So the uh

54:58 the two, the two mechanisms, ? With or without lactose,

55:01 So a lactose repression. So there's the lack I is what codes for

55:09 repressor. OK. And it actually its own operator sequence. OK?

55:15 the, the active repressor A actually both operator sequences from the LAC operon

55:23 the repressor operon. And so it them together. And basically this is

55:30 that the, the promoter is inaccessible the prelim, right when this

55:34 So there's no expression going on. . And so, but again,

55:39 know that one in a million times it's, you get a little couple

55:44 mole as well, but for all and purposes, it's, it's

55:48 OK? Um You get, you lactose in it converted to lactose,

55:55 it binds and you have an inactive , right? You get expression or

56:01 and active. So that's one level the story. OK? So the

56:09 level is the presence of an OK? And so let's look at

56:16 question, but now what happens is enters the picture. OK? Um

56:24 it will have an influence. Yeah. OK. Let me turn

57:24 timer on. Done. OK. , it's going to be low c

58:01 A MP levels. OK. So do need the absence of glucose.

58:07 ? Um A repressor bound with Yes, that promotes expression. I

58:13 the person a lactose. OK. And a MP and this cyclic A

58:23 receptor protein go hand in hand. , um you need to have high

58:31 . It's like a A MP to the A, a activator bound to

58:35 promoter. OK? And so we'll how glucose influences this. OK.

58:41 here is our uh psychic A MP so psychic A MP uh in many

58:48 not all living things often plays a in as a signaling molecule.

58:54 Um When a certain condition is occurring a cell, you can trigger something

58:59 a MP which then triggers a cascade events and some kind of effect

59:04 So it's kind of almost a universal molecule. And in in this

59:10 it's kind of um hm it make of a sensor of the energy state

59:16 the cell. OK. So you've uh obviously you, you produce a

59:21 P in the process uh as you and make AD P and so this

59:27 OK? Of AD P to AD A T P to AD P,

59:32 kind of an indicator of the state the health of the cell.

59:35 and for typical bacteria is about OK, a little bit more ATP

59:40 ADP and it kind of indicates a cell. OK. And so A

59:47 P can also be a part of . OK. And this can be

59:51 in the S A MP. But but all three is kind of our

59:56 , if you measure the levels of , it can be a measure of

59:59 energy state of the cell and how it is. And so I think

60:02 kind of how psycho A P levels because of this, in particular when

60:07 is present. Ok. And glucose present, you have lower psychic A

60:13 levels because glucose is a it's indicating glucose is present, it's being

60:19 you know, like cause association A P production, et cetera,

60:22 Um Glucose exerts such a big effect other carbohydrate operon, right? Because

60:31 it's not just lactose, there's lots sugars. E coli can use,

60:36 . Glucose is present, it exerts effect because glucose is used most

60:42 right? That's what glycolysis is built glucose, right? Because it goes

60:47 , glucose, six phosphate and off go, right. Any other

60:52 you gotta do a couple of at one or two other steps in order

60:56 make it funneled into the process. ? We saw with lactose, we

61:01 to cleave it first in the Then glucose and the galactose has to

61:05 go through a couple steps before we into the cycle. So um that's

61:10 as efficient as using glucose alone. when glucose is present, it will

61:15 this effect, same effect on the , many of the other carbohydrate uh

61:21 . OK. Glucose use glucose then these other ones. OK.

61:28 so, so it's like like a levels then. So pretty much the

61:32 protein here, there's more or less a constant level. OK? But

61:38 the cyclic A MP S that can . OK. So if we have

61:44 cyclic A MP, then we're gonna a, get a lot of this

61:48 activator complex that forms. OK. it's all about attracting uh lira to

61:56 promoter site, right? So if have the other conditions, we have

62:00 present, right, which will form lactose, we'll get rid of the

62:05 off of the promoter. Right? , let's really wrap up production and

62:10 an active activator sitting there that will enhance polymerase binding and you get lots

62:16 expression. OK. So um this is what they call metabolic repression.

62:25 lactose is a metabolite. It kind refers to these other kind of carbohydrates

62:29 are affected by glucose, the presence glucose, they call it metabolite

62:34 So um so again, cyclic A level, you have, you have

62:38 present low cy A MP, not have lactose operon expressed um low

62:46 then we switch to lactose OK? promote this expression. So when you

62:51 at this in a growth curve, you have both glucose and lactose

62:56 you get this kind of biphasic what call dioxin growth. OK. So

63:02 have glucose utilized first and then there's lag here. So glucose used up

63:14 then growth occurring, growth going up then lactose finally is utilized uh here

63:22 this point. So there's a lag because you have to switch, switch

63:27 , the expression rights going on, over to lactose operon expression takes a

63:31 bit of time then that kicks OK. So glucose then lactose and

63:38 at the molecular level. So recall mechanism here, right? This is

63:43 uh phospho transfer system, right, common way to import various molecules.

63:49 so glucose comes in phosphorated to glucose phosphate, right. This goes into

63:57 , all right. And so uh molecules here are phosphorated and then hand

64:07 off at glucose. OK. So the state where glucose is present,

64:13 are un phosphorated and that can interfere the lack rise specifically this this sub

64:21 . OK. And so lactose can't the cell, right? So that's

64:26 scenario of glucose present and lactose OK. If glucose is absent,

64:32 you don't have the effect because this interfere with lack Y. OK.

64:39 Latu was free to come in. . And this interaction here is really

64:44 , you know, binding to lack and affecting its shape, not able

64:48 bind and bring in lactose. So uh what they call glucose um

64:55 inducer exclusion, sorry inducer being not lactose, but they call it

65:04 . Um so maximum expression lactose present actions. OK. Um All

65:13 So let's look, this is just , basic summary of the process,

65:18 ? Repression induction. Um But needing uh involvement of this activator absence of

65:28 for maximum expression. OK. So so the thing to remember here is

65:34 operon is a canna bolic operon. , it enables the cell to utilize

65:40 as carbon and energy source. So if we flip to Trippin

65:46 it's not that OK? So let's at this one. OK. So

65:55 this um which is true regarding the fan Operon. OK. And

66:06 the kind of the logic of how operates really is about the type of

66:12 . It's OK? Compared to OK. Yeah. OK. Let

66:58 turn the time. Ron. OK. Yes. This is the

67:31 statement here. D OK. So so it's not a can of

67:38 it's synthesis to. OK. So and that, and that fact is

67:48 of why it operates the way it compared to lack of. So which

67:52 a catalog pathway. Um So depression occurs when a trip to fan its

67:59 . OK? Um The, the the absence of corepressor to defend a

68:06 repressor. So if it's um it will be expressed. OK.

68:12 we'll go through this. OK. we're just gonna kind of go through

68:16 first part of it. OK. I'm gonna come back to that

68:22 All right. Crypto fan opera. about it. Which operant could eco

68:25 live without and we'll come back and it. OK. Black or trip

68:29 OPERON. All right. 50% So structural genes you got more here

68:35 lactose operon. We got five. ? Um The leader sequence. So

68:42 of put this in the back of head for now we're going into it

68:46 time. But the leader sequence is a part of the transcript.

68:55 That's involved in kind of another level control, right? We'll talk about

68:59 later. But the point is it's a part of every transcript.

69:05 Um OK. The regulator and so enzymes, the pathway synthesize crypto,

69:14 ? Um The A O repressor. this is the repressor form that's

69:21 OK. It doesn't bind to the . Um And so that scenario occurs

69:29 Ryan is not present. OK. get expression, keep expressing the genes

69:36 make your demand. Um If it present, it then uh combined is

69:43 to bind the repressor, activating And that relate translates into um an

69:50 repressor that blocks expression. OK. um what we call the holo

69:58 the complete repressor bound with corepressor Um So the question is um when

70:10 the family be present? So I'm ask that in this question. I

70:14 of got the questions that the order OK. When would crypto accumulate in

70:18 ? OK. When would these begin accumulate? OK. So would it

70:30 during mid log, are your defense metabolized during late lock phase? So

70:37 see the two arrows there indicating mid late? Um or no, the

70:44 two, when would accumulate in the if crypto fans accumulating in a

70:54 it's not being blanked, you turned wrong and the is not really

71:22 So forget about B it's between A C, OK? It's between A

71:26 C. OK. OK. So if crypto accumulate, accumulate in the

71:45 , that means it's not being which one was the word?

71:53 Don't, No, it's a four word begins with you not being

72:00 If it's accumulating, it's not being , sitting there. OK. So

72:03 not being used. Is that more to occur during Midlock or late that

72:10 used late log or mid log late yeah, because the cells are slowing

72:22 in growth. There's not the same for crypto depends if you're growing like

72:26 in mid two for the 8 to billion cells, right? There's a

72:32 demand, there's a lot of protein that's going on. You gotta keep

72:35 out the crypto, but at least at least one crypto every protein I

72:40 think I'd be shocked if there So there's always gonna be a

72:44 you always protein and had crypto or one of the 20 amino acids,

72:49 ? So, but that demand slows as growth slows down. So now

72:54 of a sudden crypto fans accumulate, need it, right? So what

72:59 ? We do? We do right? It it the bins

73:05 to the repression of activating it. it self regulates in a way.

73:11 ? Um Similarly, you can also here and affect that enzyme and,

73:18 affected at that level. OK. um so back to this question.

73:26 you. What O R could E live without? Which one could live

73:38 it? Can, it can live one of these ecoli mu mutants that

73:47 do this, that don't have an one of these, but it lives

73:53 fine. OK. OK. Cutting from 65, I am completely,

74:16 , absolutely unequivocally shocked with an Uh Why? OK. Who enter

74:24 life from? How can it Could it not live without opera?

74:32 is like his opera? Absolutely. a million other things. Millions of

74:40 sugars, proteins and fats and everything they can eat. Lactose is one

74:45 of so many other things you could . OK. Yeah. If we

74:48 living in milk, yeah, that would be hard up. Right?

74:52 lactose is what's the milk? But , maybe not because you can eat

74:57 . There's lots of things you can , but there's only one way to

75:02 a crypto fan and you need that make proteins. And so you can't

75:07 without this. You can live without . OK. Can't live needed.

75:20 , you have to have it Right. So, um that's

75:25 folks. We'll pick you up next . Thanks. Glucose and lactose,

75:40 think at the same cost. But exactly what like we see right

75:50 Yeah. The, it is the that he got here. So the

76:05 of is. Oh my goodness. . So what's happening is uh hold

76:17 ? Ok, so,

-
+
