(1) When present on a multicopy plasmid, this gene suppresses the phenotype of a number of amber mutants, but has no effect on the ocher mutants tested.
(2) In this system, (i) the natural N-terminal coding region of the hIL-6 gene was replaced by a synthetic sequence containing A-T rich codons, (ii) dual Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequences were employed, (iii) an A-T rich segment was inserted in front of the initiation codon to avoid putative mRNA secondary structure in the region and (iv) the natural amber termination codon of the hIL-6 gene was changed to an ocher stop codon.
(3) I looked up the definition for redskin and although most online dictionaries agree that the term is offensive, most will give the definition as: "The original name was a European one used to describe Algonquins who painted their face with bright red ocher and bloodroot, thereby making their face red with war paint."
(4) The oligonucleotides synthesized have a sequence corresponding to the minus strand that is complementary to the viral strand at the start of gene G in bacteriophage phi X174 replicative form DNA where the normal third codon has been replaced with the ocher codon, TAA.
