Thymidine-requiring strains of Escherichia coli isolated by trimethoprim selection often simultaneously acquire the ability to suppress bacteriophage T4 nonsense mutations. Suppression is lost in Thy+ revertants and recombinants, but is sometimes retained in thyA plasmid-bearing transformants. Suppression is restricted in Strr derivatives of the Thy- mutants, indicating that suppression occurs at the level of translation.
通过甲氧苄啶筛选分离出的大肠杆菌胸腺嘧啶核苷需求菌株常常同时获得抑制噬菌体T4无义突变的能力。在Thy+回复体和重组体中抑制作用消失,但在携带thyA质粒的转化体中有时会保留。抑制作用在Thy-突变体的Strr衍生物中受到限制,这表明抑制作用发生在翻译水平。
