Abstract excerpt
Thymine requiring strains of Escherichia coli suppress nonsense and frameshift mutations during translation. Strains with different genetic backgrounds exhibited different nonsense suppression spectra and showed differences in the apparent suppression efficiency. Part of this strain difference is due to a presumably novel gene (tsmA) mapping near 39 min. This gene affects the spectrum and apparent efficiency of...
