title: [Phenotypic manifestation of epigenetic determinant [ISP+] in Saccharomyces serevisiae depends on combination of mutations in SUP35 and SUP45 genes].
abstract: It is known that translation fidelity in Saccharomyces yeast is determined by factors of genetic and epigenetic (prion) nature. The work represents results of further analysis of strains containing non-chromosomal determinant [ISP+], described earlier. This determinant is involved in the control of translation fidelity and some of its properties indicate that it is a prion. [ISP+] manifests phenotypically as antisuppressor of two sup35 mutations and can be cured by guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl). Here we have shown that sup35 mutants containing [ISP+] contain also additional sup45 mutations. These mutations cause amino acid replacements in different regions of eRF1 translation termination factor, encoded by SUP45 gene. Strains bearing sup35-25 mutation contain sup45 mutation, which causes amino acid replacement at position 400 of eRF1; strains bearing sup35-10 contain mutation causing replacement, which alters eRF1 at position 75. Thus, antisuppressor phenotype of [ISP+] strains depends on interaction of sup35 and sup45 mutations, as well as on the GuHCl-curable epigenetic determinant.
