A better-known example is induced by catabolite activator protein complexed with cyclic AMP, and its three structural genes code for transacetylase, a permease, and beta galactosidase, which catalyses the hydrolysis of lactose.
In the repressible trp system, tryptophan functions as a corepressor, binding to the product of the regulatory gene. A better-known example is induced by catabolite activator protein complexed with cyclic AMP, and its three structural genes code for transacetylase, a permease, and beta galactosidase, which catalyses the hydrolysis of lactose. For ten points, name this model system for regulation of gene expression, first described by Jacob and Monod for the lac system.
