Heterologous stop codon readthrough of metazoan readthrough candidates in yeast. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Recent analysis of genomic signatures in mammals, flies, and worms indicates that functional translational stop codon readthrough is considerably more abundant in metazoa than previously recognized, but this analysis provides only limited clues about the

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

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
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

The functional readthrough extension of malate dehydrogenase reveals a modification of the genetic code [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2016
Translational readthrough gives rise to C-terminally extended proteins, thereby providing the cell with new protein isoforms. These may have different properties from the parental proteins if the extensions contain functional domains.

Recoding of Nonsense Mutation as a Pharmacological Strategy

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Approximately 11% of genetic human diseases are caused by nonsense mutations that introduce a premature termination codon (PTC) into the coding sequence. The PTC results in the production of a potentially harmful shortened polypeptide and activation of a

Ribosomal readthrough at a short UGA stop codon context triggers dual localization of metabolic enzymes in Fungi and animals. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
Translation of mRNA into a polypeptide chain is a highly accurate process. Many prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses, however, use leaky termination of translation to optimize their coding capacity.

Multifaceted regulation of translational readthrough by RNA replication elements in a tombusvirus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2011
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

Pharmaceuticals Promoting Premature Termination Codon Readthrough: Progress in Development

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Around 11% of all known gene lesions causing human genetic diseases are nonsense mutations that introduce a premature stop codon (PTC) into the protein-coding gene sequence.

Peroxisomal lactate dehydrogenase is generated by translational readthrough in mammals

open access: yeseLife, 2014
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 ...
