RESUMO

The temperature-sensitive cyr1-2 mutant in Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces low levels of adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP at 25 degrees C and is unable to synthesize repressible acid phosphatase at 25 degrees C. Suppressor mutants of cyr1-2 were isolated by detecting acid phosphatase activity. One of the dominant suppressor mutations isolated was designated SUP201 and characterized. The SUP201 mutant gene was isolated from a gene library made from cyr1-2 SUP201 mutant DNA. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned SUP201 gene revealed that the SUP201 gene was a mutated tRNA gene flanking GCN4, which worked as a UGA suppressor.
