Mystery of operon evolution probed Date: August 30, 2012 Source: Rice University Summary: New research suggests a possible explanation for the organization of operons, jointly controlled clusters ...

The operon is regulated by Lac repressor, the product of the lacI gene, which is transcribed from its own promoter (PI). The repressor inhibits transcription by binding to the lac operator (O).

The lac operon system of E. coli has been utilized widely for both experimental and industrial purposes. The lacZ gene, which encodes β-galactosidase, is used most extensively as a reporter gene ...
