Describe the function and the functional components of the maltose regulon system
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The textbook shows each component of the maltose regulon in Figure 7.9, where the activator binds to the operator only when the inducer is present and bound to the activator. RNA polymerase can then bind to the promoter region to transcribe the structural genes into mRNA.
