The Discovery of the lac Operon. In 1961, Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod proposed the operon model of gene regulation in bacteria. The model was based on their study of the genes in E. coli that code for enzymes that affect the breakdown of lactose. Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod. Photo courtesy of Archive Photo. Because of the pioneering work of Jacob and Monod, the lac operon is typically used to illustrate gene regulation in bacteria.
E. coli, remember, is a prokaryote; an organism whose cells lack a nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA is clustered into groups of genes called operons. When scientists first studied the lac operon found in E. coli, they observed gene regulation through transcriptional repression and induction.We've talked about repression and induction before. Repression describes a decrease in gene transcription, whereas induction is an increase in gene transcription.e call the individual genes structural genes. A structural gene is any gene that codes for a structural protein or an enzyme. Remember, enzymes are just one kind of protein. The structural genes in the lac operon code for three different enzymes.
