The bacterial chromosome One double stranded
circular DNA molecule DNA is tightly coiled into a
nucleoid Many bacteria also have
plasmids
E. coli has ~ 4.6 million base pairs (4400 genes)
![Page 5: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bacterial replication Bacteria divide by binary
fission DNA is copied first Very fast
![Page 6: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Genetic variation in bacteria
Since bacterial reproduction is asexual, how do bacteria become genetically diverse and thus adapt to changing environments?
1. Mutation - rare But…that can be as many as 9 million new mutants each day
in a single host because they reproduce so quickly and are so numerous
![Page 7: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2. genetic recombination - combining DNA from 2 sources
This occurs through A.) Transformation B.)Transduction C.)Conjugation
![Page 8: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Transformation The uptake of naked, foreign DNA from
the surrounding environment that alters the bacterial genotype and phenotype
![Page 9: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Transduction Occurs when a phage (virus)
carries bacterial genes from one cell to another
Sometimes when the phage is being formed, it picks up pieces of the bacterial DNA
When it infects a new cell, this DNA is transferred
![Page 10: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conjugation Bacterial “sex” The direct transfer of genetic material between
2 cells that are temporarily joined The “male” has a sex pilus that joins the 2 cells
together Coded for by an F factor gene in the DNA
Either on the main chromosome or in a plasmid F factor plamids can integrate into the chromosome
and back out again• These are called episomes
![Page 11: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The F plasmid Made up of ~ 25 genes Cells with the plasmid called F+ cells
They donate DNA during conjugation The F+ cell donates one parental strand,
keeping the other, so it stays F+
![Page 12: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
R plasmids Confer resistance to certain antibiotics
Many R plasmids, like F plasmids, also have genes that encode for a sex pilus, making sharing of the plasmids possible
![Page 13: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Quick think: Explain why there is so much bacterial diversity
![Page 14: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Regulation of gene Regulation of gene expression in bacteriaexpression in bacteria
![Page 15: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bacteria can adapt to new conditions
Transfer of genes, through plasmids, transposons, etc, can help a population of bacteria adapt and survive over time
This is natural selection What about the individual What about the individual
bacteria? How does it adapt bacteria? How does it adapt to changing conditions?to changing conditions?
![Page 16: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How individual bacteria adapt By controlling metabolism
Allows the bacteria to respond to and adapt to its environment
They can turn on genes when needed and turn off genes when not needed
Saves energy Can you think of examples of
how you and I respond to and adapt to our environment?
![Page 17: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How bacteria regulate their metabolism
1. Feedback inhibition (aka negative feedback) - the end product of a pathway turns off the pathway when the end product levels are high
Here tryptophan is the end product of this metabolic pathway. When it gets built up, it shuts down the pathway by inhibiting the first enzyme
![Page 18: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Regulation of gene expression (aka regulation of the DNA)
Cells can adapt by turning on or off certain genes as needed
Here the buildup of tryptophan shuts down the production of the enzymes necessary for making tryptophan
![Page 19: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Operons - how genes are turned on & off
Operon = 1. Promoter region where RNA pol binds to DNA to being transcription2. Operator region – like the on/off switch for that stretch of DNA3. Genes for the enzymes the bacteria needs
This whole thing together is an operon
![Page 20: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Some operons are ALWAYS turned on
The operator is always open so DNA mRNA proteins
UNLESS
The cell is in an environment where the proteins are not needed
![Page 21: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If enough of the protein is already present in the environment, the protein acts as a repressor repressor molecule molecule BLOCKS the operator
Now the cell will NOT do DNAmRNAproteins
(it doesn’t need to. There are already plenty of those proteins present!)
![Page 22: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This is an example of a Repressible Operon The trp operon trp operon is a repressible operon
It is usually on but can be repressed when the trp repressor protein binds to tryptophan and they block the operator
![Page 23: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
An inducible operon
![Page 24: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some operons are ALWAYS turned offoff The operator is always
blocked so no DNA mRNA proteins
UNLESS
The cell is in an environment where those proteins are needed
![Page 25: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We call this an inducible inducible operonoperon
If the bacteria is in the presence of sugars, it will UNBLOCK the operator that codes for the enzymes to digest those sugars.
The presence of the sugar INDUCES the operon.
![Page 26: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Inducible vs repressible enzymes
Inducible enzymes Usually function in catabolic
(breakdown) pathways
Repressible enzymes Usually function in anabolic
(buildup) pathways
![Page 27: AP Biology Genetic Diversity and Operons in bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081605/5888c4e01a28ab200f8b5f81/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Make a model Use the materials provided to make a model of an
operon Include:
DNA Promoter region on DNA Operator on DNA RNA polymerase mRNA Genes 1, 2, 3 on DNA Enzymes (proteins) 1, 2, 3 made from genes 1, 2, 3 Repressor molecule to block operator Repressor or an inducer molecule to change shape of
repressor molecule
Explain your model and use it to demonstrate both types of operons
