Flashcards : Gene Regulation in Bacteria — 10 cartes

Process controlling gene expression levels.

Process controlling gene expression ON/OFF.

Cluster of genes with shared promoter and operator.

Cluster of related genes with single promoter.

Binds RNA polymerase to start transcription.

Initiates transcription by RNA polymerase binding.

Repressor binds to block transcription.

Code for proteins, e.g., lacZ, lacY, lacA.

Binds to operator to prevent transcription.

Inducer that inactivates repressor, enables transcription.
