A DNA fragment enhancing efficiency of [PSI+]‐dependent termination suppressor,sup111, was isolated from a genomic library ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaeand its function was attributed to an ORF of 1272 bp. This ORF, designatedESU1(enhancer of terminationsuppression), corresponded to the 3′‐terminal portion ofGAL11. Contrasting toESU1, GAL11lowered the suppression efficiency of [PSI+]sup111.ESU1possesses a TATA‐like sequence of its own and three ATG codons following it within a distance of about 70 bp and all in the same reading frame asGAL11. A 52.7 kDa protein corresponding in size to the predicted Esu1 protein is detected by western blot analysis using anti‐Gal11 antiserum. We therefore conclude thatESU1is the gene that encodes a polypeptide corresponding to the C‐terminal 424 amino acids of Gal11. It was further found thatESU1increases the level ofGAL11mRNA and probably also of its own mRNA. Moreover,ESU1increased the cellular level of mRNA transcribed from theleu2‐1UAAmutant gene, whileGAL11did not. Based on these findings, we propose the following scheme for the events taking place in the [PSI+]sup111cell that is transformed with anESU1‐bearing plasmid: (a)ESU1stimulates transcription ofleu2‐1; (b)leu2‐1mRNA is not effectively degraded because of the possession ofsup111, which belongs to theupfgroup; (c) [PSI+] causes increased mis‐termination due to depletion of eRF3; (d) functional Leu2 product is made usingleu2‐1mRNA; and (d) suppression ofleu2‐1is eventually accomplished.
