Method |
(primary source abstract:) "[Researchers] mutate the E. coli's gene encoding dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and replace it with bacterial orthologous genes to determine how components of PQC [protein quality control] modulate fitness effects of these genetic changes." |
Comments |
"A ... study estimated that DHFR could
sustain an 80% cut in protein abundance with little effect
on organismal fitness and that the dependence of fitness
on protein abundance exhibited Michaelis–Menten-like
behavior (primary source)." |
