Therapeutics Based on Stop Codon Readthrough [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2014
Nonsense suppression therapy encompasses approaches aimed at suppressing translation termination at in-frame premature termination codons (PTCs, also known as nonsense mutations) to restore deficient protein function. In this review, we examine the current status of PTC suppression as a therapy for genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.

Translation initiation factor eIF3 promotes programmed stop codon readthrough. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Programmed stop codon readthrough is a post-transcription regulatory mechanism specifically increasing proteome diversity by creating a pool of C-terminally extended proteins.

Ribosome profiling reveals pervasive and regulated stop codon readthrough in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yeseLife, 2013
Ribosomes can read through stop codons in a regulated manner, elongating rather than terminating the nascent peptide. Stop codon readthrough is essential to diverse viruses, and phylogenetically predicted to occur in a few hundred genes in Drosophila ...

Readthrough predictions

open access: yes, 2023
Readthrough predictions for all possible nonsense mutations in the human genome for six different drugs (CC90009, Clitocine, DAP, G418, SRI and SJ6986).

Readthrough of stop codons under limiting ABCE1 concentration involves frameshifting and inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
To gain insight into the mechanistic link between translation termination and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), we depleted the ribosome recycling factor ABCE1 in human cells, resulting in an upregulation of NMD-sensitive mRNAs.

A global analysis of the reconstitution of PTEN function by translational readthrough of PTEN pathogenic premature termination codons

open access: yes, 2021
The PTEN tumor suppressor gene is mutated with high incidence in tumors and in thegermline of patients with cancer predisposition or with macrocephaly associatedwith autism.PTENnonsense mutations generating premature termination codons (PTC)and producing

Yeast applied readthrough inducing system (YARIS): an invivo assay for the comprehensive study of translational readthrough [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2019
AbstractStop codon readthrough—the decoding of a stop codon by a near-cognate tRNA—is employed by viruses to balance levels of enzymatic and structural proteins and by eukaryotic cells to enable isoform-specific protein synthesis in response to external stimuli.

Computational analysis of stop codon readthrough in D.melanogaster [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformatics, 2003
Abstract Motivation: Readthrough is an unusual process in which a stop codon is misread or skipped. Recently it has been shown that some translation is regulated by the readthrough reactions although the complete mechanism is not clear.

Stops making sense: translational trade-offs and stop codon reassignment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Efficient gene expression involves a trade-off between (i) premature termination of protein synthesis; and (ii) readthrough, where the ribosome fails to dissociate at the terminal stop. Sense codons that are similar in sequence to stop codons

Drug-induced eRF1 degradation promotes readthrough and reveals a new branch of ribosome quality control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Suppression of premature termination codons (PTCs) by translational readthrough is a promising strategy to treat a wide variety of severe genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.
