The effect of nonsense codons on splicing: a genomic analysis.
The phenomenon of nonsense-associated altered splicing raises the possibility that the recognition of in-frame nonsense codons is used generally for exon identification during pre-mRNA splicing. However, nonsense codon frequencies in pseudo exons and in regions flanking 5' splice sites are no greater than that expected by chance, arguing against the widespread use of this strategy as a means of...
متن کاملBinary specification of nonsense codons by splicing and cytoplasmic translation.
Premature translation termination codons resulting from nonsense or frameshift mutations are common causes of genetic disorders. Complications arising from the synthesis of C-terminally truncated polypeptides can be avoided by 'nonsense-mediated decay' of the mutant mRNAs. Premature termination codons in the beta-globin mRNA cause the common recessive form of beta-thalassemia when the affected ...
متن کاملInteraction of nonsense suppressor tRNAs and codon nonsense mutations or termination codons
Codon nonsense mutations include amber, ochre, or opal mutations according to termination codon consisting of three types (TAG, TAA and TGA). Codon nonsense mutations are also divided into natural and artificial mutations. We discussed the interaction of codon nonsense mutations and suppressor tRNAs in vitro and in vivo. Nonsense suppressions do not only happen in prokaryotes but also in eukary...
متن کاملNonsense mediated decay downregulates conserved alternatively spliced ABCC4 transcripts bearing nonsense codons.
Drug transporters are an important part of the defense of cells against cytotoxic agents. One major group of transporters is known as multidrug resistance associated proteins (MRP; ABCC gene family). The MRPs belong to the ATP binding cassette transporter superfamily. One family member, ABCC4 (also known as MRP4) functions as a cellular efflux pump for anti-HIV drugs, such as 9-(2-phoshoenylmet...
متن کاملOptimal shift partitioning of pharmacies
The pharmacy service requires that some pharmacies are always available and shifts have to be organized: a shift corresponds to a subset of pharmacies that must be open 24 hours a day on a particular week. Under the requirement that each pharmacy belongs to exactly one shift and the assumption that users minimize the distance to the closest open pharmacy during each shift, we want to determine ...
