Hominini-specific regulation of cell cycle by stop codon readthrough of FEM1B
In certain mRNAs ribosomes continue translation beyond the canonical stop codon to generate longer isoform with a C-terminal extension. This phenomenon is termed stop codon readthrough (SCR). Previously, a genome-wide ... -
Stop codon readthrough in MTCH2 mRNA and its role in mitochondrial physiology
Stop codon readthrough is the process in which translation continues beyond a stop codon till a downstream, in-frame stop codon generating a polypeptide with a C-terminal extension. MTCH2 was selected as a potential ... -
Stop codon readthrough of NNAT mRNA and its role in neuronal differentiation
Protein synthesis terminates at the first stop codon encountered by the ribosome. In stop codon readthrough, translation termination is suppressed, enabling the ribosomes to continue translation beyond the canonical stop ... -
Translation in Erythroid cells
Erythrocytes are specialized cells that perform the crucial function of gas exchange in all vertebrates. Regulation of gene expression was believed to be absent in these cells due to the absence of nucleus. It was also ... -
Translation in the 3'Untranslated Region of Mammalian Transcripts
Mammalian mRNAs generally have a 5'UTR (untranslated region), a coding DNA sequence, and a 3'UTR. The 3'UTR of mRNA is generally believed to be the untranslated region of the mRNA. However, there are certain instances ... -
Translational readthrough of AGO1 mRNA and its regulation by let-7a microRNA
During translation, the message encoded in mRNAs is decoded by ribosomes to synthesize proteins following strict canonical decoding rules. This process is tightly regulated and several mechanisms exist in cells that ensure ...
