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 E. coli suA mutant (T82), which is a suppressor of polarity by virtue of its impaired transcription termination factor (rho) activity, is shown to be an efficient suppressor of lambdaN- mutants. The relief of the N requirement by this host is reflected in a substantial restoration of growth and
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
A temperature-sensitive mutant of E. coli with a defective DNA gyrase B subunit has been obtained. The mutation is expressed in the thermolability of DNA gyrase in vitro and in DNA relaxation in vivo. DNA replication in the mutant does not stop under non-permissive conditions; its rate gradually fal
