MeSH Heading: Codon, Nonsense
Tree Number(s): D13.444.735.544.355.250.235; G05.360.335.355.250.235; G05.365.590.195
Unique ID: D018389
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018389
Annotation: for amber or ochre suppressor mutations use SUPPRESSION, GENETIC
Scope Note: 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.
