Versatile vectors to study recoding: conservation of rules between yeast and mammalian cells

Abstract: In many viruses and transposons, expression of some genes requires alternative reading of the genetic code, also called recoding. Such events depend on specific mRNA sequences and can lead to read through of an in-frame stop codon or to +1 or -1 frameshifting. Here, we addressed the issue of conservation of recoding rules between the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian cells by establishing a versatile vector that can be used to study recoding in both species. We first assessed this vector by analysin… Show more

“…14,15 In this study, we analyzed the gentamicin susceptibility of individual primary stop mutations concerning Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) patients, using a very sensitive dual reporter gene system. 16 This experimental model closely corresponds to the physiological situation, in which a given mutation is embedded in a unique nucleotide context, and differs between patients. Several reasons indicated an investigation of gentamicin: its effect on readthrough is the best documented to date, and it is known to present a much lower toxicity than other suppressive molecules like G418.…”

“…A dual gene reporter system 16 was used to quantify the effect of gentamicin on stop mutation readthrough in culture cells (Figure 1). Sequences to be analyzed, spanning 27 nucleotides centered on the different stop mutations (Table 1), were inserted in-frame between the lacZ and luc coding sequences; every translating ribosome would thus result in b-galactosidase synthesis, but only those reading through the stop codon would yield active luciferase.…”

“…We speculated that IP 6 specifically targets Gle1 during translation termination. To test this hypothesis, we utilized read-through termination assays as described previously (33,44). A reporter containing a ␤-galactosidase/luciferase fusion separated by a linker sequence with an in-frame stop codon was transformed into the respective wild type and mutant strains.…”
