How would the SOS response in $E$. coli be affected by a mutation in the $l e x A$ gene that prevented autocatalytic cleavage of the LexA protein?
Added by Raymond J.
Step 1
coli is a DNA repair mechanism that is activated in response to DNA damage. The LexA protein acts as a repressor of SOS response genes. Show more…

Explain what would happen to DNA replication in a mutant strain of E. coli that had a mutation in the gene for the DnaA protein.
Keemin L.
A mutant of E. coli is isolated that has a defective ribosomal protein such that translation stalls briefly whenever a codon for tryptophan is encountered, irrespective of the level of charged tryptophan tRNA. How would this mutation be expected to affect attenuation of the tryptophan operon?
Madhur L.
A geneticist induces a mutation in a cell line growing in the laboratory. The mutation occurs in a gene that encodes a protein that participates in the cleavage and polyadenylation of eukaryotic mRNA. What will be the immediate effect of this mutation on RNA molecules in the cultured cells?
