Classification of dominant and recessive mutations and complementation of a recessive mutation.

(A) Analysis of complementation and dominant/recessive nature of mutations. Twelve MATa mutants were crossed with 20 MATα mutants, as well as with the wild type strains. An Ura+ phenotype of …

Confirmation that mutations in MBF1 are responsible for frameshifting.

(A) Plasmid-borne MBF1 gene suppressed the Ura+ phenotype of mutants P25 and P38 at 30°C. (B) Deletion of the MBF1 coding sequence in the parent GFP- strain resulted in GFP+ phenotype.

https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.39637.011
Figure 3—figure supplement 2
Frameshifting is likely not due to reduction in Mbf1 protein in the asc1Δ mutant nor to limiting Asc1 protein in the mbf1Δ mutant.

(A) Western analysis of HA tagged Mbf1 in the asc1Δ mutant (three independent isolates shown) compared to the wild-type strain (four independent isolates shown) indicates that Mbf1 levels were …

Figure 4 with 2 supplements
Mbf1 and Asc1 work at a common subset of inhibitory codon pairs and at a single inhibitory codon pair in a context-dependent manner.

(A) Frameshifted GFP/RFP fluorescence was detected at three inhibitory codon pairs (Gamble et al., 2016) in the mbf1Δ mutant, and at seven codon pairs in the asc1Δ mbf1Δ double mutant. Frameshifting …

Figure 4—figure supplement 1
Analysis of effects of asc1Δ, mbf1Δ and asc1Δ mbf1Δ mutations on expression of different GFP reporters containing two sets of inhibitory codon pairs and programmed frameshifting site in TY1.

(A, B) Analysis of effects of the indicated mutations on expression of Gln4(1-99)-GFP reporters containing three copies of either (A) the Arg-Pro (AGA-CCA or CGA-CCG) codon pairs or (B) the Arg-Ile …

Figure 4—figure supplement 2
Efficient frameshifting occurs at a single CGA-CGG pair in a particular context.

(A) Schematic of inserts in +1 frame in GLN4(1-99)-GFP reporters used to identify the contributions of individual CGA-CGG pairs to frameshifting. Sequences with all possible combinations of zero, …

https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.39637.018
Frameshifting occurs in the +1 direction with the CGA codon in the P site and is modulated by tRNA competition at the A site.

(A) Schematic of the purification construct for the frameshifted peptide. An eight amino acid sequence with a single CGA-CGG pair from the RNA-ID reporter was inserted between a GST tag and an …

Models for the interplay between the Mbf1/Rps3 and Asc1-mediated RQC pathways and for the role of Mbf1 in reading frame maintenance.

(A) Model of the two pathways that maintain reading frames of stalled ribosomes at CGA codons. Mbf1 and Rps3 act on stalled ribosomes to prevent frameshifting while Asc1 causes removal of many of …
