It was previously shown that the ochre suppressor mutation sup15B in Escherichia coli determines the accumulation of altered 30S ribosomal subunits and the presence of altered transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) capable of suppressing in vitro the UAG codon. This mutation has been mapped in the present study by means of conjugation and transduction experiments. After establishing the location of sup15B near argH, the following order was determined for the markers tested: metB-argH-(sup15B, supA36)-rif-thi. A comparison of location, growth rate, and suppressor pattern determined by sup15B and supM indicates the high probability that both suppressor mutations are identical. This study has also yielded a more precise location for the rifampin resistance gene. The most interesting finding is the very close (if not adjacent) location of the suppressor mutations sup15B and supA36, both of which determine tRNA alterations.
先前已表明,大肠杆菌中的赭石抑制突变体sup15B决定了改变的30S核糖体亚基的积累以及能够在体外抑制UAG密码子的改变的转移核糖核酸(tRNA)的存在。在本研究中,通过接合和转导实验对该突变进行了定位。在确定sup15B位于argH附近后,确定了所测试标记的以下顺序:metB-argH-(sup15B,supA36)-rif-thi。对由sup15B和supM确定的位置、生长速率和抑制模式进行比较表明,两种抑制突变很可能是相同的。本研究还为利福平抗性基因确定了更精确的位置。最有趣的发现是抑制突变体sup15B和supA36的位置非常接近(如果不是相邻的话),这两种突变都决定了tRNA的改变。
