Operons

operon /op·er·on/ (op´er-on) a segment of a chromosome comprising an operator gene and closely linked structural genes having related functions.

op·er·on (

-r

)

A unit of gene activity consisting of a sequence of genetic material that functions in a coordinated manner to control the production of mRNA and that consists of an operator gene, a promoter, and two or more structural genes.

operon

[op′əron]

Etymology: L, operare, to work

a section of bacterial DNA consisting of an operator gene and one or more structural genes with related functions. Transcription of the structural genes is controlled by the operator gene in conjunction with a regulator gene. See also operator gene, regulator gene.

operon [op´er-on]

a segment of a chromosome comprising an operator gene and closely linked structural genes having related functions, the activity of the latter being controlled by the operator gene through its interaction with a regulator gene.

operon (op´

ron´),

n a segment of DNA consisting of an operator gene and one or more structural genes with related functions controlled by the operator gene in conjunction with a regulator gene.
