Abstract
Paromomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, can phenotypically suppress nonsense mutations in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Palmer et al., 1979). We report here that the extrachromosomal determinant, ψ+, enhances this phenotypic suppression of all three nonsense mutations. UAG. UAA and UGA, by three-to sevenfold.
