A mathematical model based on known molecular interactions was formulated to describe quantitatively regulation of expression of the lactose (lac) operon in the E. coli chromosome and in multicopy plasmids. This model was genetically structured such that a nucleotide sequence change affecting transcription initiation at the lac promoter-operator influences 1 or very few directly corresponding model parameters. The model simulates chromosomal lac operon function in good agreement with previous experimental measurements for many lacI and lacO mutant systems as well as for diploid cells which carry F''lac episomes. Simulation results clearly show the loss of cloned lac operator regulation as the plasmid copy number increases, in agreement with experimental trends. The importance of this class of models in designing DNA, organisms and reactors for precise regulation of cloned gene expression is discussed.
