Genetic dissection of human ABCE1 in yeast reveals separable requirements for ribosome recycling and suppression of aberrant reinitiation. [PDF]
Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.

Expanding the chemical diversity of M13 bacteriophage
Bacteriophage M13 virions are very stable nanoparticles that can be modified by chemical and genetic methods. The capsid proteins can be functionalized in a variety of chemical reactions without loss of particle integrity.

Alteration in H-bond strength affects the stability of codon-anticodon interaction at in-frame UAG stop codon during in vitro translation [PDF]
We have studied the decoding ability of a non-standard nucleobase modified tRNA for non-natural amino acid mutagenesis. The insertion of 2, 6-diaminopurine (D) base at the 3rd position of a tRNA anticodon enabled us to evaluate the effect of an ...

Summary: 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. Here, we present two potent readthrough promoters—NVS1.1 and

Enhanced yield of recombinant proteins with site-specifically incorporated unnatural amino acids using a cell-free expression system. [PDF]
Using a commercial protein expression system, we sought the crucial elements and conditions for the expression of proteins with genetically encoded unnatural amino acids.

Suppression of amber codons in Caulobacter crescentus by the orthogonal Escherichia coli histidyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNAHis pair. [PDF]
While translational read-through of stop codons by suppressor tRNAs is common in many bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, this phenomenon has not yet been observed in the α-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus.

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.
