Nonsense suppression by supE44 has been examined in a collection of 14 T4 gene 22 and gene 23 UAG mutants, for which the precise gene location is known. In concordance with previous studies, UAG followed by a pyrimidine was inefficiently suppressed. However, among positions with similar 3' nucleotid

β¦ Synopsis
A number of nonsense alleles of lacZ exhibit phenotypic suppression (as much as a sixteen-fold increase in leakiness) during partial limitation for certain aminoacyl-tRNA species in relA mutant cells. Each responsive allele has its individual pattern of response to limitation for one or more amino acids or aminoacyl-tRNA's. The phenotypic suppression occurs only during limitation, and ceases once limitation is reversed. Suppression is much reduced by the presence of the relA+ allele or an allele of rpsL which restricts ribosomal ambiguity. In one case, the suppressed product has been identified by radioimmune assay and gel electrophoresis, and is a full-length lacZ protomer. Mechanisms are discussed whereby aberrations of translation at codons calling for an aminoacyl-tRNA species in short supply might lead to readthrough of a nearby nonsense codon.
