FIG. 2.

Quantified levels of [PSI+]-mediated nonsense suppression. Strains carry plasmids expressing a translational fusion of Renilla (upstream) and firefly (downstream) luciferases, with or without a termination codon (UAA) early in the firefly coding region. The ratio of activities of firefly to Renilla enzymes for the UAA construct versus the control construct [(firefly/Renilla)UAA/(firefly/Renilla)control] provides a measurement of UAA read-through. Read-through values for mutant strains are expressed as percentages relative to values for the wild-type strain. Assays were done in triplicate at least three times. SSA1-21 derivatives of ssa2Δ and fes1Δ strains are not represented, since they are unable to propagate [PSI+].
