Inducible Operon VS Repressible Operon - Genetic regulation is a process where certain proteins and other kinds of stimuli tend to cause a cell to express genes or not express them.
Inducible Operon VS Repressible Operon
Genetic regulation is a process where certain proteins and other kinds of stimuli tend to cause a cell to express genes or not express them. The bacteria cell system is small system, but it carries out a lot of activities and must do so economically and efficiently, therefore actions of these genes must be regulated. There are two types of regulatory systems: inducible and repressible
An operon is a cluster of genes that work together to form a polycistronic mRNA. It consists of structural genes, a promoter region, an operator region, and a regulatory gene. Structural genes code for the enzymes themselves. RNA polymerase transcribes all of the genes into a polycistronic mRNA. The promoter is the site where the RNA polymerase binds to the DNA prior to beginning transcription. The operator serves as the binding site for the protein called the repressor. The regulatory gene encodes the repressor protein.
