More than 30 independent suppressor mutations have been obtained in the nematodeC. elegansthrough reversion analysis of twounc-13mutants. Many of the new isolates map to the region of the previously identified informational suppressor,sup-5 III(Waterston and Brenner 1978). Several of the other suppressor mutations map to the left half of theX-linkage group and define a second suppressor gene,sup-7 X. In tests against 40 mutations in six genes, thesup-7(st5)allele was found to suppress to a greater extent the same alleles acted on bysup-5(e1464). Likesup-5(e1464), sup-7(st5)acts on null alleles of the myosin heavy-chain geneunc-54 I(MacLeodet al.1977; MacLeod, Waterston and Brenner 1977) and the putative paramyosin geneunc-15 I(Waterstonet al.1977). Chemical analysis ofunc-15(e1214); sup-7(st5)animals show that paramyosin is restored to more than 30% of the wild-type level. —As was observed forsup-5(e1464), suppression bysup-7(st5)is dose dependent and is greater in animals grown at 15° than at 25°. However, associated with this increased suppression is a decreased viability ofsup-7(st5)homozygotes. Reversion of the lethality has resulted in the isolation of deficiency mutations that complementst5lethality, but lack suppressor function. These properties ofsup-7(st5)suggest that it, likesup-5(e1464), is an informational suppressor of null alleles, and its reversionviadeficiencies further narrows the possible explanations of its action.
