Abstract excerpt
Mutations that increase readthrough at a UGA stop codon (informational suppressor mutations) were created in the gene (AS4) that encodes translation elongation factor eEF1A in the filamentous fungus Podospora amserina. The results strongly suggest that the net charge of the eEF1A protein controls the accuracy of translation. Physiological analysis of the mutant strains shows that some of the alleles dominantly...
