Practice: Gene Mechanisms
You are doing an experiment to determine the mechanism of gene
expression of a bacterial operon responsible for the utilization of glycerol. You know Abc1 is the regulator. You have two strains of the bacteria: one has the normal Abc1 regulator (+abc1), and the other does not (-abc1). You obtain the following results when growing the two strains with and without glycerol:
Describe the mechanism of regulation.
Practice: Transcription & Translation
Both transcription and translation are said to proceed via three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. Focusing on eukaryotes, summarize each step for transcription and translation.
