Proposed mechanism of AG-induced PTC read-through. A. Eukaryotic ribosome complex during normal protein translation elongation. B. Elongation arrest at the PTC site due to nonsense mutations results in translation abortion and truncated protein product. C. Binding of AG to PTC site allows random incorporation of an amino acid from a near-cognate tRNA and read-through at the PTC site.
