Abstract excerpt
Eight sterile mutants, which regain their fertility upon reactivation of an inactivated UGA suppressor allele of the serine tRNA gene sup3, are shown to carry UGA nonsense alleles of two established ste genes, ste1 (one mutant) and ste6 (two mutants), and of two novel genes, ste9 (four mutants) and ste10 (one leaky mutant of ras1-/ste5-like cell morphology). The mutant alleles of ste1 and ste9 lead to a defect in...
