A conditional lethal mutator, dnaQ49, was found in Escherichia coli K12. The dnaQ49 mutation caused stimulation of rifampicin-, nalidixic acid- and streptomycin-resistant mutation frequencies 100 to 2000 fold at 30 degrees C and the frequencies were further increased 50 to 100 fold at 35 degrees C o
A spontaneous mutant was isolated that harbors a weak suppressing activity towards a UAG mutation, together with an inability to grow at 43 degrees C in rich medium. The mutation is shown to be associated with an increased misreading of UAG at certain codon contexts and UAA. UGA, missense or framesh
