Definición

  • An amino acid-specifying codon that has been converted to a stop codon (CODON, TERMINATOR) by mutation. Its occurance is abnormal causing premature termination of protein translation and results in production of truncated and non-functional proteins. A nonsense mutation is one that converts an amino acid-specific codon to a stop codon. A mutation that converts a sense codon (CODON) into a stop codon (CODON, TERMINATOR) or an unassigned codon and leads to the formation of truncated proteins. A codon that is not assigned to an amino acid and is not a stop codon (CODON, TERMINATOR). Although they may lead to premature termination of translation, unassigned codons do not bind translation release factors (PEPTIDE TERMINATION FACTORS), as do stop codons.
