Mention the components of bacterial transcriptional switches. The Lac operon is regulated by both activator CAP and Lac repressor. A scientist introduces a mutation in the gene encoding the activator CAP, making this allosteric protein insensitive to glucose levels. What outcomes do you expect if you culture the mutated bacteria in a culture medium with glucose and lactose. Give your explanation based on the mechanism of the Lac operon.
