ou are studying a caspase cleavage site in an N protein from a new coronavirus you make a D/E site-directed mutation at this cleavage site and find that the Mutant protein is uncleaved during virus-induced apoptosis. Thus the aspartic acid is: a negative regulator of cleavage irrelevant for cleavage necessary for cleavage sufficient for cleavage
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
