Abstract excerpt
A suppressor of a translation initiation defect caused by an AUG to AUU mutation in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast petD gene was isolated, defining a nuclear locus that we have named SIM30. A dominant mutant allele at this locus, sim30-1d, was found to increase the translation initiation rate of the mutant petD mRNA. sim30-1d was also able to suppress the translational defect caused by an AUG to AUC...
