Mutator and antimutator phenotypes of suppressed amber mutants in genes 32, 41, 44, 45, and 62 in bacteriophage T4. 1978

S M Watanabe, and M F Goodman

Bacteriophage T4 genes 32, 41, 44, 45, 56, and 62 are essential to DNA replication. Amber mutants (suppressed by su+1, su+2, or su+3 bacteria) in these genes were examined for any mutator or antimutator effects on the reversion of a transition mutation. In every case except for mutations in gene 56, elevated or lowered error frequencies were observed. These results indicate the importance of all of the replicative proteins in the determination of error frequency.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations

D013489 Suppression, Genetic Mutation process that restores the wild-type PHENOTYPE in an organism possessing a mutationally altered GENOTYPE. The second "suppressor" mutation may be on a different gene, on the same gene but located at a distance from the site of the primary mutation, or in extrachromosomal genes (EXTRACHROMOSOMAL INHERITANCE).
