Answer: IME1 gene


Question:  The majority of putative TSC2 mutations were found in sporadic rather than TSC2 - linked families .

Answer: TSC2 mutations


Question:  The biological activity of these mutants was tested by determining their capacity to ( i ) reconstitute RNA polymerase activity in vivo by cotransfection with proteins NP , PB1 , and PA and a virion - like RNA encoding the cat gene into vaccinia virus T7 - infected COS - 1 cells and ( ii ) complete with the wild - type PB2 activity .

Answer:
RNA polymerase
