Abstract excerpt
The MRF1 gene encodes the only class I release factor found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria, mRF1. The previously isolated point mutation mrf1-13 caused respiratory deficiency due to inhibition of mitochondrial translation. In this study, we have isolated second-site suppressors of mrf1-13. Among over 200 respiratory positive suppressor colonies, ten nuclear dominant suppressors had a new mutation in the...
