You are studying regulation of the yeast enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS), which is encoded by the GLN1 gene. You have isolated two mutants, designated gln2– and gln3–, that give decreased GS activity. Mating of either gln2– or gln3– haploids to wild type produces heterozygous diploids that show normal amounts of GS expression. When you cross either a gln2– or gln3– haploid to a gln1– strain the resulting diploids show normal expression of GS.              
 How many units of ß-galactiosidase would you expect to be expressed from deletion 4 in a gln2– mutant?

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. 3 units of beta-galactosidase from Deletion 4, deletion 4 is necessary for GLN2 function
  2. 1 units of beta-galactosidase from Deletion 4, deletion 4 is necessary for GLN1 function
  3. 0 units of beta-galactosidase from Deletion 4, deletion 4 is necessary for GLN3 function
  4. 3 units of beta-galactosidase from Deletion 4, deletion 4 is necessary for GLN3 function
