Abstract
The yeast amber suppressor, SUP5-a, was previously shown to cause the insertion of tyrosine at the sites of UAG nonsense codons. Nucleotide sequencing established that this SUP5-a suppressor specifies a mutant tyrosine transfer RNA (tRNA) which has the anticodon CΨA instead of the normal GΨA, an alteration identical to that found in the tyrosine-inserting amber suppressor from Escherichia coli.
