Nonsense alleles in the lacZ gene of E. coli do not completely eliminate enzyme activity as errors during protein synthesis allow some chains to be completed. The relative contributions of transcriptional and translational errors to this leakiness were investigated by two methods: the introduction o

Cell free extracts from a streptomycin-resistant E. coli mutant which is also temperature-sensitive for Q beta phage were studied for suppression of a nonsense mutation at various temperatures. The streptomycin-resistant ribosomes of the mutant were found to be temperature-sensitive in suppression o
The expression of the trpR gene of Escherichia coli was investigated by measuring trpR messenger RNA levels in vivo under various physiological conditions. Trp repressor, when present, led to significant decreases in the amount of trpR message produced; this effect was enhanced by providing excess L
A high-copy plasmid, pGA217, which carries a deletion (lacking the carboxy-terminal 20 amino acids) of the structural gene for ribosomal protein L10 (rplJ) is lethal to the cell in the absence of the gene (rplL) for r-proteins L7/L12, but only if the upstream operon for r-proteins L11 (rplK) and L1
