Figure 1 PTC mutation leads to interrupted translation, followed by ribosome disassembly, polypeptide degradation and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Cartoon depicts normal translation of mRNA (upper), interrupted translation as a result of PTC mutation (middle), and read-through of PTC (lower). Lower cartoon shows one possible mechanism of action for amlexanox facilitated read-though. PTC, premature termination codon.
