Stop codon


Stop Codons
In classical genetics, the stop codons were given names: UAG was amber, UGA was opal, and UAA was ochre. These names were originally the names of the specific genes in which mutation of each of these stop codons was first detected.

STOP CODON - A codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) which terminates translation.

Stop codon: That codon at which translation of an mRNA molecule into a polypeptide is terminated. In the Universal Code this may be: UGA, UAG, or UAA.

premature STOP codons. Translation of these produces a truncated protein that is probably ineffective and may be harmful. The problem is solved by Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay (NMD).
no STOP codon. These produce "nonstop" transcripts.

So to find a gene, the program looks for a start and a stop codon?
Oh, I wish it were as easy as just finding a start and finding a stop. A start codon for a protein is "ATG." You're going to bump into a start codon ATG pretty often.

A mutation that results in a stop codon so that incomplete proteins are produced, it is called a nonsense mutation.
A mutation that produces a functioning protein is called a silent mutation.

Everything between the stop codon and the polyA tail is considered to be 3' untranslated (see Figure 4). The 3' untranslated region may affect the translation efficiency of the mRNA or the stability of the mRNA.

A sequence of DNA following an initiation codon that does not contain a stop codon. Detection of an open reading frame in DNA implies the presence of a gene that codes for a protein.
