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.
The lac operon. In the absence of lactose, the repressor protein encoded by the I gene binds to the lac operator and prevents transcription. Binding of allolactose to the repressor causes it to leave the operator. This enables RNA polymerase to transcribe the three genes of the operon.
