RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to characterize two mutator stocks of yeast which were induced and selected on the basis of high spontaneous reversion rates of the suppressible "ochre" nonsense allele lys1-1. In the mutator stock VA-3, a single mutation, designated mut1-1, is responsible for the increase in the reversion rate of the ochre alleles lys1-1 and arg4-17. In stock VA-105, there are two separate mutator mutations. Tetrad analysis data showed these two loci are loosely linked. Based on complementation data, one of these mutations is at the same locus as mut1-1 and designated mut1-2. The second mutator of stock VA-105 was designated mut2-1. All three mutators are recessive. Both mut1-1 and mut1-2 give a high mutation rate for ochre nonsense suppressor (SUP) loci, but not for the ochre nonsense alleles. On the contrary, the mutation rates of the ochre alleles are greatly reduced. With the mutant mut2-1 there were mutations at both the lys1-1 site and its suppressors; mut2-1 is as effective as mut1-2 but not as effective as mut1-1 in inducing reversions of a missense mutant, his1-7. Neither mut1-1, mut1-2 nor mut2-1 were effective in inducing reversions of a putative frameshift mutation, hom3-10, or in inducing forward mutations to canavanine resistance.
