temperature-sensitive mutation

temperature-sensitive mutation
t-s mutation a conditional mutation producing a protein product with a temperature-dependent instability; thus the phenotype is normal at some (permissive) temperatures, but expression of the mutation can be elicited at other (restrictive) temperatures. The term generally denotes a mutation expressed at normal growth temperatures but not at lower temperatures.
