Imagine this scenario: In E.coli the Operon X encodes for Proteins Y, X and Z. Proteins Y, X and Z are required for growth in the presence of Drug A. Outline the experiments that you would conduct to assess whether Protein B represses the transcription of Operon X in the absence of Drug A. Things to consider: 1. Transcription of Operon X 2. Mutations 3. Chromatin structure
