Abstract
IT has been shown1 that relief from the polar effect of nonsense mutations in the tryptophan Operon by the suA allele2 is associated with increased survival of mRNA operator distal to the nonsense mutation. Experiments described here confirm the effect of suA on mRNA distal to amber mutations and directly demonstrate the complete mRNA molecule only in the presence of the suA mutation.
