Keys in Metabolisms • In addition to ATP, enzymes (proteins) are keys in metabolisms • Enzyme synthesis in microbes is tightly regulated, microorganisms are economical : ‐
Constitutive Enzymes (Enzim Konstitutif) : always present in microbial cells at constant amount , independent of metabolic state of microorganisms
‐
Inducible Enzymes (Enzim Terinduksi) : present/synthesized at different amount depending on factors such as metabolic state of microorganisms, availability of substrates etc

Strategy of Microbial Regulation • Generally microorganisme regulates the synthesis of inducible protein (enzymes) at trancriptional level • Control is “On/Off” : Off is basic level, 1 transcription per generation • Model is well developed for bacteria

Regulation in Bacteria : Coordinate Regulation • Definition : Coordinate regulation is control of synthesis of polycistronic mRNA • Polycistronic mRNA is an mRNA that encodes for several gene products, i.e. enzymes that will work in a sequence in one pathway

Regulation of Bacterial Catabolism Lac Operon and Lactose Catabolism
• To metabolize lactose To metabolize lactose in the medium, in the medium bacteria need (and need (and therefore, synthesize) 2 proteins : ‐ Lactose Permease ‐ produced/encoded for by gene lac Y ‐ to carry and transport lactose through cytoplasmic membrane to cytoplasm ‐ ‐galactosidase enzyme ‐ produced/encoded for by gene lac Z ‐ to convert lactose into glucose and galactose 03/09/2015

Regulation of Bacterial Catabolism Lac Operon and Lactose Catabolism • Lactose Regulation is studied from mutants Lac–, which do not produce lactose permease and/or b‐galaktosidase and can not metabolize lactose • These mutants may have mutation in their chromosome and/or their plasmid

Lac Operon Model (Jacob & Monod) •
Lac Operon that metabolizes lactose consists of 2 components : - Structural genes to transport and cleave lactose, lacY and lacZ (lacA=transasetilase, functions is unknown) - Regulatory genes, i.e. lacI, lacO dan lacP
•
Gene products of lacY and lacZ are encoded for by a polycistronic mRNA. Promoter (early transcription area) of lacY and lacZ is located besides lac O (Operator)
•
lacI ac product p oduct is s a repressor ep esso p protein ote tthat at b binds ds to a u unique que sequence of DNA called operator
•
When repressor binds to operator, no transcription occurs
•
Presence of an inducer will cause inducer to bind the repressor thus allow induction or de-repression

Regulation of Lac Operon 1. When E. coli Lac+ is grown in medium containing no lactose, [ gal] & [lac permease] low, 1‐2 molecules/cell. When lactose concentration is high , [ gal] & [lac permease i increases 1000x 1000 2. When lactose is gal Z added to lactose‐ lac permease Y free medium, the lac mRNA behavior of E coli (Lac+) is as follows + lactosa 3. In Lac+, genes encoding for proteins for lactose catabolism is inducible; their transcription is induced by an inducer (lactose) 4. Mutans sythesize the two proteins in the presence/absence of lactose 13

Positive Regulations of Lac Operon • Fact : When E. coli is grown in a medium containing lactose and glucose, the bacterium does not metabolize lactose until all glucose is used up :
-gal, lac permease is low in the presence of inducer, why? • It turns out that Lac operon is also regulated indirectly by glucose : presence of glucose influence the concentration of glucose : presence of glucose influence the concentration of cAMP (cyclic‐AMP) in the cell that plays a role in the positive regulation of Lac operon

Positive Regulations of Lac Operon • E. coli produces CRP (cAMP Receptor Protein) that binds to cAMP • CRP-cAMP has to be associated with the promoter to allow RNA polymerase to bind to lac p • Binding of cAMP-CRP to the Promoter is required for lac Y, Y lac Z synthesis (positive regulation)

How Do Bacteria “Sense” The Presence Of Substrate For Extracellular Enzyme? Substrate for extracellular enzyme is usually high MW substance which is too large for bacteria to take up substance which is too large for bacteria to take up Bacteria detect the presence of the macromolecule in their environment because of the constitutive enzymes The degradation products are E (inducible the inducer E(const.)
