Extrachromosomal psi+ determinant suppresses nonsense mutations in yeast.
The extrachromosomal psi+ determinant in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae enhanced the expression of Mendelian UAA suppressors by 6- to 10-fold. The psi+ determinant by itself is a weak UAA suppressor that caused the production of approximately 1% of the normal level of iso-1-cytochrome c in a strain containing the UAA mutation cycl-72.
