Serine substitutions caused by an ochre suppressor in yeast.   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
The suppressor SUQ5 in yeast can cause the production of approximately 10 to 20% of the normal amount of iso-l-cytochrome c when coupled to the ochre (UAA) mutants cyc1–2 and cyc1–72. The iso-l-cytochromes c contain residues of serine at positions that correspond to the sites of the ochre codons. SUQ5 is efficient only in strains having the non-Mendelian factor ψ+, although the low amount of suppressed iso-l-cytochrome c from a ψSUQ5 cyc1–72 strain was also shown to contain serine at the ochre site. Thus SUQ5 differs from the eight other characterized suppressors of UAA in yeast, which were previously shown to insert residues of tyrosine at ochre sites (Gilmore et al., 1971) and which are only effective in strains haying the non-Mendelian factor ψ, since they generally cause inviability in the ψ+ state. Like the tyrosine-inserting suppressors, SUQ5 can also act on another ochre allele cyc1–9, but with a very low efficiency of approximately 0.4%, while it does not appear to act at all on amber (UAG) mutants. SUQ5 was found to be 6.4 cM (centiMorgans) from tyr7 on chromosome XVI. It is suggested that the gene product of SUQ5 is serine tRNA.  相似文献

Serine insertion caused by the ribosomal suppressor SUP46 in yeast   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
The ribosomal suppressor SUP46 isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae suppresses a broad range of mutations, including at least some UAA, UAG and UGA alleles. The SUP46 suppressor causes the insertion of serine into iso-1-cytochrome c at the site of the UAA mutation in the cyc1-72 allele. It is believed that the altered ribosomes in the SUP46 suppressor allow a serine tRNA to misread UAA codons.  相似文献

The effect of the recessive siren (srn) gene singly in the presence of one Danforth's short tail (Sd) gene was to modify the expression of srn towards dominance with 46 percent penetrance. All mice that could be classified as sirens from srn/+ x Sd/+ matings had the Sd type short tail, indicating that interaction between Sd and srn was the principal cause for modification towards dominance of srn. External expressivity was variable in Sd srn pups, with true sirens, semi-sirens and apposed leg pups produced, each traceable to pelvic abnormalities. Variation in the urogenital system was similar to that found in siren pups with the srn/srn genotype.  相似文献

In this article, we describe a novel autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome, characterized by congenital ichthyosis associated with abnormal hair. Using homozygosity mapping, we mapped the disease locus to 11q24.3-q25. We screened the ST14 gene, which encodes matriptase, since transplantation of skin from matriptase(-/-)-knockout mice onto adult athymic nude mice has been shown elsewhere to result in an ichthyosislike phenotype associated with almost complete absence of erupted pelage hairs. Mutation analysis revealed a missense mutation, G827R, in the highly conserved peptidase S1-S6 domain. Marked skin hyperkeratosis due to impaired degradation of the stratum corneum corneodesmosomes was observed in the affected individuals, which suggests that matriptase plays a significant role in epidermal desquamation.  相似文献

sufS was found to suppress the only known suppressible-1 frameshift mutation, trpE91, at a site identified as GGA and mapped within the single gene of the only tRNA that can decode GGA in Escherichia coli. It mapped to the same gene in Salmonella typhimurium. sufS alleles were recessive, and dominant alleles could not be isolated. This is in contrast to all other tRNA structural gene mutations identified thus far that cause frameshift suppression. The recessiveness implies that all sufS alleles are poor competitors against their wild-type tRNA(Gly2) counterparts. The base G immediately 5' of the GGA suppression site influenced the level but was not critical for suppression by sufS601. From this result, it is inferred that sufS601 causes frameshifting by doublet decoding.  相似文献

The temperature-sensitive missense suppressor supH and amber suppressor supP in Escherichia coli are mutations of the serU and leuX genes, respectively. The supH tRNA, tRNA(SerCAA), is expected to recognize UUG codons, which are normally read by tRNA(LeuCAA) and tRNA(LeuUAA), coded for by the leuX gene and the leuZ gene, respectively. We show that supP and supH are incompatible and that strains carrying both supP and a restrictive rpsL allele are temperature sensitive. It is suggested that the temperature sensitivity of both supH and supP strains is caused by deficient reading of UUG codons by tRNA(LeuUAA).  相似文献

The frequency of recessive lethals in the 2nd chromosome was examined in two mutator stocks of Drosophila ananassae, ca and ca; px. They are characterized respectively by possessing an extrachromosomal clastogenic mutator in males, and by the retrotransposon "tom", which induces Om mutability only in females. The frequencies of recessive lethal mutations in the 2nd chromosome among progenies from males and females of the ca; px stock are 0.35 and 0.34 percent, respectively. Similarity of these frequencies indicates that tom does not induce recessive lethals in females. In contrast to the ca; px stock, the frequency of recessive lethals in males of the ca mutator stock was estimated to be 1.54 percent for the 2nd chromosome. No visible mutants except Minutes were recovered. Some recessive lethals derived from ca stock males were associated with chromosomal rearrangements. Being consistent with its high rate of Minute mutation it was demonstrated that the ca clastogenic mutator also induced recessive lethals.  相似文献

The synthetic lethal screen is a useful method in identifying novel genes functioning in an alternative pathway to the gene of interest. The current synthetic lethal screen protocol in yeast is based on a colony-sectoring assay that allows direct visualization of mutant colonies among a large population by their inability to afford plasmid loss. This method demands an appropriate level of stability of the plasmid carrying the gene of interest. YRp-based plasmids are extremely unstable and complete plasmid loss occurs within a few generations. Consequently, YCp plasmids are the vector of choice for synthetic lethal screens. However, we found that the high-level stability of YCp plasmids resulted in a large number of false positives that must be further characterized. In this study, we attempt to improve the existing synthetic lethal screen protocol by regulating the plasmid stability and copy number. It was found that by placing a yeast centromere sequence under the control of either inducible or constitutive promoters, plasmid stability can be significantly decreased. Hence, altering the conditions under which yeast cells carrying the plasmid PGAL1-CEN4 were cultivated allowed us to develop a method that eliminated virtually 100% of false positives and drastically reduced the time required to carry out a synthetic lethal screen.  相似文献

The UGA suppressor tRNA produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain sup3-e was purified to homogeneity. It can be aminoacylated with a serine by a crude aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase preparation from S. pombe cells. By combining post-labeling fingerprinting and gel sequencing methods the nucleotide sequence of this tRNA was determined to be: pG-U-C-A-C-U-A-U-G-U-C-ac4C-G-A-G-D-G-G-D-D-A-A-G-G-A-m2G2-psi-U-A-G-A-N-U-U-C-A-i6A-A-psi-C-U-A-A-U-G-G-G-C-U-U-U-G-C-C-C-G-m5C-G-G-C-A-G-G-T-psi-C-A-m1A-A-U-C-C-U-G-C-U-G-G-U-G-A-C-G-C-C-A OH. The anticodon sequence u ca is complementary to the UGA codon.  相似文献

A group of 13 recessive lethal mutants was selected on the basis of the collection of Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic plants with insertions of T-DNA vector plasmid pLD3 or pPCVRN4, which was produced by agrobacterial transformation of germinating seeds. The use of media containing exogenous hormones made it possible to compensate the lethal effect, identify phenotypes, and characterize six lines of recessive lethal germlings using genetic and molecular-genetic methods.  相似文献
