Suppression of a double missense mutation by a mutant tRNA(Phe) in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

We report here the isolation of a mutant tRNAPhe that suppresses a double missense auxotrophic mutation in trpA of Escherichia coli, trpA218. The doubly mutant protein product differs from wild-type TrpA by the replacements of Phe22 by Leu and Gly211 by Ser. A partial revertant TrpA phenotype can be obtained from trpA218 by changing either Leu22 back to Phe or Ser211 back to Gly. Translational suppressors were...
