Abstract
This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction Maintaining Decoding Accuracy and the Reading Frame The Use of a Stop Signal for both Elongation and Termination of Protein Synthesis The Mechanism for Sec Incorporation at UGA Sites in Bacterial mRNAs The Gene Products The Mechanism of Sec Incorporation The Competition between Sec Incorporation and Canonical Decoding of UGA by RF2 Mechanism for Sec Incorporation at UGA Sites in Eukaryotic and Archaeal mRNAs The Gene Products The Mechanism of Sec Incorporation at Specific UGA Stop Codons Why does Recoding Occur at Stop Signals? The Stop Signal of Prokaryotic Genomes - Engineered for High Efficiency Decoding? The Stop Signal of Eukaryotic Genomes - Diversity Contributes to Recoding Readthrough of a Stop Signal: Decoding Stop as Sense Bypassing of a Stop Codon: 'Free-wheeling' on the mRNA Frameshifting Around Stop or Sense Codons Forward Frameshifting: the +1 Event Programed -1 Frameshifting: A Common Mechanism used by Many Viruses During Gene Expression Conclusion References
