nonsense mutation

sup·pres·sor mu·ta·tion

1. a second mutation that alters the anticodon in a tRNA so that it can recognize a nonsense (stop) codon, thus suppressing termination of the amino acid chain. Compare: amber mutation, ochre mutation, umber mutation. 2. genetic changes such that the effect of a m. in one place can be masked by a second m. in another location. There are two types: intergenic suppression (occurring in a different gene) and intragenic suppression (occurring in the same gene but at a different site). Synonym(s): nonsense mutation

nonsense mutation

A POINT MUTATION which changes a CODON that specifies an amino acid into a termination codon-one that marks the position where translation of a messenger RNA sequence should stop. The result is a gene with a segment lopped off. Such a gene will code for a protein that may have missing amino acids and may thus be functionally defective.

nonsense mutation

an alteration in a DNA POLYNUCLEOTIDE CHAIN that results in a NONSENSE CODON when transcribed on to mRNA.
