Examples of operon

operon
The absence of the repressor allows the transcription of the lac operon to proceed.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The two genes work in tandem in a genetic system called an operon.

The others, belonging to a group known as rbs operon, deal with metabolising ribose, another sugar.

It is an inducer of the lac operon in Escherichia coli.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The latter is produced by the lac operon in Escherichia coli.

To achieve this we need to further characterize the gold-specific operon on a genomic as well as proteomic level.
From the sciencedaily.com
Operon structure was also considered when assigning function when multiple genes having identical annotations were found.
From the nature.com
To validate these detrimental genes, we examined adjacent pairs of genes that are cotranscribed in the same operon.
From the nature.com
Study of the control of expression of genes in the Lac operon provided the first example of a transcriptional regulation system.

  • The group of contiguous genes in a bacterial chromosome that are transcribed into an mRNA molecule.
  • A genetic unit in prokaryotes that consists of one or more structural genes (polypeptide-encoding) adjacent to an operator region that controls their transcription.

  • A unit of genetic function common in bacteria and phages, consisting of coordinately regulated clusters of genes with related functions.
  • In prokaryotes, transcription can lead to the synthesis of a messenger RNA coding for several proteins, not just one as is almost always the case with eukaryotes. A transcription unit like this, with its regulation system, is called an operon
