单词 | polar mutation |
释义 | polar mutationpolar mutationa MUTATION that affects expression not only of the GENE in which it occurs, but also of other genes that lie DOWNSTREAM in the same OPERON (see GENE EXPRESSION). A polar mutation exerts its effect by interfering with TRANSCRIPTION or TRANSLATION of the POLYCISTRONIC mRNA involved. A NONSENSE MUTATION located within a gene may be polar. TRANSPOSABLE GENETIC ELEMENTS carrying transcription and/or translation terminators can also produce polar mutations when they insert into genes. |
