FIGURE 2.

Deletion of ASC1 or HEL2, but not LTN1, results in improved expression of genes downstream from CGA codons at amino acid 318. (A,B) Renilla (A) and firefly (B) luciferase activity of the Renilla-firefly luciferase fusion reporter constructs containing either no insert or the indicated RGS-(His)6-(Arg)4 insertions in the wild-type and ltn1-Δ strains. Strains were transformed with low copy plasmids with or without the LTN1 gene as indicated. Schematic of the reporter is included above panel A. (C,D) Mean GFP/RFP fluorescence (arbitrary units) of the Renilla-Arg4-GFP fusion (schematic) reporter in wild-type, hel2-Δ, or asc1-Δ strains. Two independent asc1-Δ mutant strains were constructed, confirmed by genomic PCR, and tested here; they are designated Δ1, Δ2. A diagram of the reporter is shown above panel C.
