If there is an abundance of glucose and arabinose, does the arabad operon get transcribed? why?

Sagot :

The arabinose operon will get transcribed in excess of arabinose and glucose will have no effect on arabinose transcription.

What is arabinose operon?

It is a regulatory operon found in E. coli which controls the breakdown of arabinose sugar into xylulose-5-phosphate. It is also called L-arabinose operon or ARA operon.

Arabinose is sugar made of 5 carbons and its breakdown provides energy to the bacterium. It acts as an inducer for arabinose operon.

The inducer arabinose molecule binds to the repressor gene. This won't allow the repressor molecule to bond to the repressor gene. This results in the transcription of mRNA into proteins.
