Abstract
Nonsense mutations in the essential SUP45 and SUP35 genes, encoding translation termination factors, affect the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Flow cytometry revealed that the viability of mutants was 3.5‒4 times lower compared to the wild-type. Moreover, the mutants were found to have higher sensitivity to ultrasonic treatment.
