Therapeutics Based on Stop Codon Readthrough [PDF]
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]
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
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 of stop codons under limiting ABCE1 concentration involves frameshifting and inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]
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.

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