Strategies against Nonsense: Oxadiazoles as Translational Readthrough-Inducing Drugs (TRIDs). [PDF]
This review focuses on the use of oxadiazoles as translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) to rescue the functional full-length protein expression in mendelian genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.

Functional Translational Readthrough: A Systems Biology Perspective. [PDF]
Translational readthrough (TR) has come into renewed focus because systems biology approaches have identified the first human genes undergoing functional translational readthrough (FTR).

Defining the high-translational readthrough stop codon context. [PDF]
Translational termination is not entirely efficient and competes with elongation, which might result in translational readthrough (TR). TR occurs when a near-cognate tRNA binds to a stop codon, (mis)interpreting it as a sense codon and producing a C ...

A system for coordinated analysis of translational readthrough and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. [PDF]
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway degrades mRNAs containing premature termination codons, limiting the expression of potentially deleterious truncated proteins.

Programmed translational readthrough generates antiangiogenic VEGF-Ax. [PDF]
Translational readthrough, observed primarily in less complex organisms from viruses to Drosophila, expands the proteome by translating select transcripts beyond the canonical stop codon. Here, we show that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) mRNA in mammalian endothelial cells undergoes programmed translational readthrough (PTR) generating ...

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.

Readthrough compounds for nonsense mutations: bridging the translational gap
Approximately 10% of all pathological mutations are nonsense mutations that are responsible for several severe genetic diseases for which no treatment regimens are currently available. The most widespread strategy for treating nonsense mutations is by enhancing ribosomal readthrough of premature termination codons (PTCs) to restore the production of ...

Peroxisomal lactate dehydrogenase is generated by translational readthrough in mammals
Translational readthrough gives rise to low abundance proteins with C-terminal extensions beyond the stop codon. To identify functional translational readthrough, we estimated the readthrough propensity (RTP) of all stop codon contexts of the human ...

Multifaceted regulation of translational readthrough by RNA replication elements in a tombusvirus. [PDF]
Translational readthrough of stop codons by ribosomes is a recoding event used by a variety of viruses, including plus-strand RNA tombusviruses. Translation of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) in tombusviruses is mediated using this strategy
