Abstract excerpt
Two mutations in the A-site of 18S rRNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were investigated. The first, A1491G (rdn15), creates in yeast the same C1409-G1491 base pair as in Escherichia coli and has behaved as an antisuppressor in genetic studies. Ribosomes from rdn15 are error-restrictive but their peptidyltransferase activity remains unchanged. The second mutation, U1495C (rdnhyg1), was initially isolated as a...
