Mutations affecting translational fidelity in the eucaryote Podospora anserina: characterization of two ribosomal restrictive mutations. 1981

M Picard-Bennoun

Fifty-nine mutations that restrict suppressor efficiency were selected in the fungus Podospora anserina using four different screening methods. Previous genetic analysis has shown that these antisuppressors lie in six loci and that they could be similar to ribosomal restrictive mutations known in Escherichia coli. The present study deals with the response of two of them, AS1-1 and AS6-1, to paromomycin and low temperature both in vivo and in vitro. The data demonstrate that ribosomes of the mutant and double-mutant strains are equally resistant to the ambiguity effect of paromomycin. These data are the first demonstration of mutations that increase translational fidelity in eucaryotic organism.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries

D005816	Genetic Complementation Test	A test used to determine whether or not complementation (compensation in the form of dominance) will occur in a cell with a given mutant phenotype when another mutant genome, encoding the same mutant phenotype, is introduced into that cell.

D001203	Ascomycota	A phylum of fungi which have cross-walls or septa in the mycelium. The perfect state is characterized by the formation of a saclike cell (ascus) containing ascospores. Most pathogenic fungi with a known perfect state belong to this phylum.	Ascomycetes,Cochliobolus,Sclerotinia,Ascomycete,Ascomycotas,Sclerotinias
D012270	Ribosomes	Multicomponent ribonucleoprotein structures found in the CYTOPLASM of all cells, and in MITOCHONDRIA, and PLASTIDS. They function in PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS via GENETIC TRANSLATION.	Ribosome
D013098	Xylariales	An order of ascomycetous FUNGI which includes many economically important plant parasites as well as saprophytes.	Sphaeriales,Sphaeriale,Xylariale
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).
