6c) In the cell in which the Iron Response Factor (IRF) protein is mutated so that it binds to its inding site, the Iron Response Element (IRE), at all times, whether the intracellular iron concentration is low or high, what effect, if any, would this mutation have on production of the iron storage protein ferritin? Briefly explain what would happen/why the mutant IRF protein would have the effect you predict.
