Abstract
Extracts of recessive UGA suppressor strains, designated supK, are deficient in transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-methylating activity when compared to wild-type extracts. Moreover, the tRNA from suppressor strains is methyl deficient when compared to wild-type tRNA. This deficiency is due to the lack of a single tRNA methylase activity in suppressor strains. UGA suppressor activity may be caused by the miscoding of one or more methyl-deficient tRNA's in supK strains.Mesh:
