Nonsense suppression by near-cognate tRNAs employs alternative base pairing at codon positions 1 and 3

Premature termination codons (PTCs) in an mRNA ORF inactivate gene function by causing production of a truncated protein and destabilization of the mRNA. Readthrough of a PTC allows ribosomal A-site insertion of a near-cognate tRNA, leading to synthesis of a full-length protein from otherwise defect...
