Repressible operons require that ______ binds to the repressor protein before it can bind to the operator.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product of the biosynthetic pathway typically binds to the repressor protein in repressible operons, enabling the repressor to bind to the operator and inhibit gene transcription. This mechanism is common in anabolic pathways, where the end product can feedback inhibit its own synthesis by activating the repressor.
