Gammacarboxy glutamic acid (Gla)-residues were first identified in prothrombin and coagulation factors in the 1970s; subsequently, extra-hepatic Gla proteins were described, including osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP).

This series of four Perspective articles, in the current and following issues of The Journal of Clinical Investigation , wi...

Three genes SUP111, SUP112 and SUP113 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been identified that can mutate to give recessive omnipotent nonsense suppressors. Alleles of these loci can also act as allosuppressors; that is, different phenotypes, due apparently to different efficiencies of suppression, can result from different alleles at a given locus. The SUP111, SUP112 and SUP113 loci map to the ri...
