Stop codon context influences genome-wide stimulation of termination codon readthrough by aminoglycosides

JR Wangen, R Green - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Stop codon readthrough (SCR) occurs when the ribosome miscodes at a stop codon. Such
readthrough events can be therapeutically desirable when a premature termination codon (…

Nuclease-mediated depletion biases in ribosome footprint profiling libraries

B Zinshteyn, JR Wangen, B Hua, R Green - RNA, 2020 - rnajournal.cshlp.org

Investigation of Translation Termination and Stop Codon Readthrough using Ribosome Profiling

JR Wangen - 2019 - jscholarship.library.jhu.edu
To successfully conclude protein synthesis, the ribosome must accurately terminate translation
upon reaching the termination codon at the end of a coding sequence. Failure to do so …

Introduction The extension of quantitative flow cytometric studies to the erythroid lineage in
patients with suspected myelodysplastic syndrome has prompted a reassessment of cell …

[HTML][HTML] Finding sense in the context

KM Keeling, DM Bedwell - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
… First, Wangen and Green used ribosomal profiling to examine translation in human cells

[PDF][PDF] Dynamic regulation of a ribosome rescue pathway in erythroid cells and platelets

EW Mills, J Wangen, R Green, NT Ingolia - Cell reports, 2016 - cell.com
Protein synthesis continues in platelets and maturing reticulocytes, although these blood
cells lack nuclei and do not make new mRNA or ribosomes. Here, we analyze translation in …
