Symbol Representation

I - laci mutant cannot bind to the operator

Is laci mutant always bind to the operator

OC Operator mutant that prevent repressors binding

F' the wild type operator, O+, and laci gene on a plasmid

L lacZYA genes

I + O + L + Inducible

I + OC L + Constitutive

I + OC L+, F' Constitutive

I - O + L+, F' Inducible

Is O + L + no transcription

Is O + L+, F' no transcription
