Abstract excerpt
The function of mutations rdn1A, rdn1T, and rdn2 in 18S rRNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is investigated. The mutations correspond to substitutions C1054A, C1054U in helix 34, and G517A in helix 18 of 16S rRNA in Escherichia coli, respectively, in which the first and third mutations caused nonsense suppression, while C1054U caused no suppression. In yeast, rdn1A caused phenotypic suppression at nonsense codons,...
