Abstract excerpt
[PSI+] is a protein-based heritable phenotype of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which reflects the prion-like behaviour of the endogenous Sup35p protein release factor. [PSI+] strains exhibit a marked decrease in translation termination efficiency, which permits decoding of translation termination signals and, presumably, the production of abnormally extended polypeptides. We have examined whether the...
