Thirteen of more than 4,000 single-amino-acid-replacement mutants of the Lac repressor, generated by suppression of amber nonsense mutants, were characterized as having a cold-sensitive phenotype. However, when expressed as missense mutations, none of the replacements cause cold sensitivity, implicating the suppression mechanism as being responsible for this phenotype.
通过抑制琥珀色无义突变体产生的4000多个乳糖阻遏物单氨基酸替换突变体中,有13个被鉴定为具有冷敏感表型。然而,当作为错义突变表达时,这些替换均不会导致冷敏感性,这表明抑制机制是造成这种表型的原因。
