Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the ability of monkey kidney cell lines (SupD3 and SupD12) inducibly expressing an amber suppressor tRNA(ser) to suppress amber nonsense mutations in three genes of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). HSV-1 mutant TK4, which contains a nonsense mutation in the non-essential viral thymidine kinase (TK) gene, synthesized a full-length TK polypeptide at about 30% of the wild-type (wt) level in...
