RESUMO
Suppressor mutants that cause ribosomes to shift reading frame at specific and new sequences are described. Suppressors for trpE91, the only known suppressible -1 frameshift mutant, have been isolated in Escherichia coli and in Salmonella typhimurium. E. coli hopR acts on trpE91 within the 9-base-pair sequence GGA GUG UGA, is dominant, and is located at min 52 on the chromosome. Its Salmonella homolog maps at an equivalent position and arises as a rarer class in that organism as compared with E. coli. The Salmonella suppressor, hopE, believed to be in a duplicate copy of the same gene, maps at min 17. The +1 suppressor, sufT, acts at the nonmonotonous sequence CCGU, is dominant, and maps at min 59 on the Salmonella chromosome.
