“…While translation termination is generally the predominant reaction at stop codons, termination efficiencies do vary considerably between different stop codon contexts. Many factors have been reported to influence the probability of termination, readthrough, or frameshifting (where the ribosome slides on an mRNA, changing the frame of translation) including the identity of the stop codon and surrounding sequence contexts (Anzalone, Zairis, Lin, Rabadan, & Cornish, 2019;Bonetti, Fu, Moon, & Bedwell, 1995;Floquet et al, 2012;Harrell et al, 2002;McCaughan, Brown, Dalphin, Berry, & Tate, 1995;Namy et al, 2001), proximal RNA structures (Firth, Wills, Gesteland, & Atkins, 2011;Steneberg & Samakovlis, 2001), RNA modifications (Karijolich & Yu, 2011), presence of RNA binding proteins (Amrani et al, 2004), and availability of aminoacylated nc-tRNA (Beznosková, Pavlíková, Zeman, Echeverría Aitken, & Valášek, 2019;Blanchet et al, 2015;Roy, Leszyk, Mangus, & Jacobson, 2015). Intriguingly, high rates of SCR have been documented in diverse organisms including viruses (Li & Rice, 1993;Wills, Gesteland, & Atkins, 1991), yeast (Namy et al, 2003;Williams, Richardson, Starkey, & Stansfield, 2004), flies (Dunn, Foo, Belletier, Gavis, & Weissman, 2013), and humans (Loughran et al, 2014(Loughran et al, , 2018.…”
