Structural Genes:
They are those genes which actually synthesise mRNAs. An mRNA controls
metabolic activity of cytoplasm through the formation of protein or enzyme

over the ribosomes. An operon has one or more structural genes. The
lactose or lac-operon of Escherichia coli contains three structural genes (Z,
Y, A).

CAP:
It will stop its activity with the accumulation of glucose and galactose in
the cell beyond the capacity of the bacterium for their metabolism. Lac -
operon is also under control of positive regulation.

operon is active and the enzymes produced by its structural genes are
normally present in the cell. The functioning of the operon is stopped when
the concentration of an end product crosses a threshold value. An example
of repressible system is tryptophan or trp operon of Escherichia coli. It was
also worked out by Jacob and Monod and consists of the following:
Structural Genes:
Operator Gene:
Promoter Gene:
It is the site for initial binding of RNA-polymerase. The latter travels from
promoter gene to structural genes provided operator gene is switched on.
