Abstract excerpt
Previous studies show that some yeast strains carrying point mutations of domain 5 that block splicing of a mitochondrial group II intron yield spontaneous revertants in which splicing is partially restored by dominant mutations of nuclear genes. Here we cloned and sequenced the suppressor allele of one such gene, and found it to be a missense mutation of the MRS2 gene (MRS2-L232F). The MRS2 gene was first...
