Abstract excerpt
Increased expression of the CCU/CCA/CCG-decoding tRNA(Pr)(o)3 on a multicopy plasmid leads to suppression of several +1 frameshift mutations in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Systematic analysis of the site of frameshifting indicates that excess tRNA(Pr)(o)3 promotes near-cognate decoding at CCC codons. Re-phasing of the reading frame can be achieved by a subsequent slippage of the tRNA onto a cognate...
