The yeast frameshift suppressor gene SUF16-1 encodes an altered glycine tRNA containing the four-base anticodon 3'-CCCG-5'.
The SUF16 frameshift suppressor locus encodes a glycine tRNA. The SUF16-1 suppressor tRNA is inferred by DNA sequence analysis to contain the four-base anticodon sequence 3'-CCCG-5' in place of the wild-type anticodon 3'-CCG-5'. SUF16-1 mediates translation of the four-base messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence 5'-GGGU-3' but apparently fails to act at the sequence 5'-GGGG-3'. A molecular model is presented that accounts for the observed specificity of tRNA-mediated frameshift suppression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
