Enhanced stop codon readthrough is a potential treatment strategy for diseases caused by nonsense mutations. Here, we compare readthrough levels induced by three types of factors: aminoglycoside antibiotics, suppressor tRNAs, and factors decreasing translation termination efficiency. We show that the highest levels of readthrough were obtained by prolonged treatment with amino-glycosides and suppressor tRNAs, whereas prolonged depletion of release factors induced only a moderate increase in readthrough. We discuss the benefits and inconvenients of the three types of factors for their use in the therapy of diseases caused by premature stop codons.
