You have created a null mutation of tRNA synthase for trp-tRNA (the synthase enzyme attaches the trp amino acid to the tRNA which is necessary for translation or trp codons). If grown in high tryptophan conditions, what would be the effect of this mutation on protein levels of trpe (the first ORF after the leader region in the trp operon) relative to a wild-type strain grown under similar conditions?

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.
