The mmm operon, which has sequences a, b, c, and d, encodes enzymes 1 and 2. mutations in sequences a, b, c, and d have the following effects, where a plus sign (+) means that the enzymes are synthesized, a minus sign (−) means that the enzymes are not synthesized, and a pound (#) means that the enzymes are synthesized but are not functional.
mmm absent mmm present
enzyme 1 enzyme 2 enzyme 1 enzyme 2
wild-type + + − −
mutation in a # + − −
mutation in b + + + +
mutation in c + # −
mutation in d − − − −
