Abstract excerpt
The essential SUP35 gene encodes yeast translation termination factor eRF3. Previously, we isolated nonsense mutations sup35-n and proposed that the viability of such mutants can be explained by readthrough of the premature stop codon. Such mutations, as well as the prion [PSI+], can appear in natural yeast populations, and their combinations may have different effects on the cells. Here, we analyze the effects...
