Abstract: HighlightsPremature termination codons are susceptible to constitutive readthrough.Readthrough compounds may restore synthesis of a functional full‐length protein.Mutations that alter splicing induce inappropriate inclusion or skipping of an exon.Oligonucleotide‐based therapies inhibit or activate specific splicing events.… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Nonsense-mutation-containing messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) transit through cytoplasmic foci called P-bodies before undergoing nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a cytoplasmic mRNA surveillance mechanism. This study shows that the cytoskeleton modulates transport of nonsense-mutation-containing mRNPs to… read more here.

Abstract: Cellular protein-protein interactions are largely dependent on the activities of signaling proteins. Here, we present a technique to tune gene expression at translation level based on G418-inducible readthrough premature termination codon (PTC-on). To demonstrate how this PTC-on… read more here.

Abstract: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a heritable heart disease associated with desmosomal mutations, especially premature termination codon (PTC) variants. It is known that PTC triggers the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) mechanism. It is also accepted that PTC in… read more here.
