Bacterial cells can take up the amino acid tryptophan from their surroundings, or, if the external supply is insufficient, they can synthesize tryptophan by using enzymes in the cell
In some bacteria, the control of glutamine synthesis is similar to that of tryptophan synthesis, such that the glutamine repressor inhibits the transcription of the glutamine operon, which contains the genes that code for the enzymes required for glutamine synthesis. On binding to cellular glutamine, the glutamine repressor binds to a site in the promoter of the operon. A. Why is glutamine-dependent binding to the operon a useful property for the glutamine repressor? B. What would you expect to happen to the regulation of the enzymes that synthesize glutamine in cells expressing a mutant form of the glutamine repressor that cannot bind to DNA? C. What would you expect to happen to the regulation of the enzymes that synthesize glutamine in cells expressing a mutant form of the glutamine repressor that binds to DNA even when no glutamine is bound to it?
