Precursor RNAs Harboring Nonsense Codons Accumulate Near the Site of Transcription [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2001 Messenger RNAs containing premature termination codons (PTCs) are selectively eliminated by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Paradoxically, although cytoplasmic ribosomes are the only known species capable of PTC recognition, in mammals many PTC-containing mRNAs are apparently eliminated prior to release from the nucleus.

Probing the role of the cation–π interaction in the binding sites of GPCRs using unnatural amino acids [PDF]
, 2009 We describe a general application of the nonsense suppression methodology for unnatural amino acid incorporation to probe drug–receptor interactions in functional G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), evaluating the binding sites of both the M2 muscarinic

Misreading of termination codons in eukaryotes by natural nonsense suppressor tRNAs [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2001 Translational stop codon readthrough provides a regulatory mechanism of gene expression that is extensively utilised by positive-sense ssRNA viruses. The misreading of termination codons is achieved by a variety of naturally occurring suppressor tRNAs whose structure and function is the subject of this survey.
