Abstract excerpt
The extrachromosomal element psi affects translation fidelity in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by increasing the efficiency of tRNA-mediated ochre suppression. The nature of the psi factor is unknown, although there is evidence that 3-microns circles from psi+ strains can be used to transform psi- cells to psi+. The 3-microns circles are extrachromosomal copies of the repeating ribosomal DNA unit, which is...
