. Cells containing missense mutations in the crp gene(encoding the positive regulator CRP) are Lac−, Mal−,Gal−, etc. To find cells with suppressors of the crpmutation (that is, cells with the crp mutation thatbehave as if they are crp+), cells were screened tofind those that were both Lac+ and Mal+.a. What types of suppressor mutations would youexpect to obtain using this screen compared with ascreen for Lac+ only?b. All suppressors isolated were mutant in the genefor the α-subunit of RNA polymerase. What hypothesis could you propose based on this analysis?

Question
. Cells containing missense mutations in the crp gene
(encoding the positive regulator CRP) are Lac−, Mal−,
Gal−, etc. To find cells with suppressors of the crp
mutation (that is, cells with the crp mutation that
behave as if they are crp+), cells were screened to
find those that were both Lac+ and Mal+.
a. What types of suppressor mutations would you
expect to obtain using this screen compared with a
screen for Lac+ only?
b. All suppressors isolated were mutant in the gene
for the α-subunit of RNA polymerase. What hypothesis could you propose based on this analysis?
