Contains tRNA:L3:49Fb coding sequences mutated at the anticodon to form an amber (UAG) nonsense suppressor.
Weakly suppresses ninaE205UAG and does not detectably suppress ninaE1 or ninaE309UAG.
Males carrying tRNA:L3:49Fbamber show varying degrees of sterility. Sterile males produce only non-motile sperm.
Carried in plasmid "pCopHygDtLbSu+(amber)", transfected into Schneider L2 cells and used to study the ability of tRNALeu suppressors to function in Drosophila.
