Abstract. A nonsense mutation occurs when a sense codon, one that codes for an amino acid, is changed to one of the chainâtermination codons, UAG, UAA or UGA. A nonsense suppressor can result from a second mutation affecting the translational apparatus. This mutation enables the cell to insert an amino acid in response to the nonsense codon, resulting in a wildâtype or near wildâtype phenotype. Some suppressor mutations change the anticodon of a transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) such that it can pair with the nonsense codon.
Definition. Refers to a point mutation in the genetic code of a gene that generates one of three known stop codons (also referred to as ânonsense codonâ):1  1. stop codon signals the end of protein synthesis. As a result, the translation of the mRNA into protein is interrupted at this codon within the gene with the consequence of the synthesis of an incomplete (âtruncatedâ) protein.
