Abstract
Amber mutations are efficiently and specifically suppressed during protein synthesis in vitro in an Su− S-30 extract at 25 °C, but not at 37 °C. Eight different amber mutations in three different genes have been tested, and all are suppressed. The efficiencies of suppression range from 20 to 35%, when protein synthesis is at the Mg2+ concentration optimal for β-galactosidase synthesis at 25 °C. The suppression efficiency increases to approximately 60% at higher Mg2+ concentrations, and is reduced to less than 5% at very low concentrations. Ochre and UGA mutations are not suppressed at all under these conditions. The amber suppression is inhibited by addition of a purified protein synthesis release factor to the reaction, or when the protein synthesis reaction takes place in extracts derived from bacteria which are streptomycin-resistant.
