Premature termination codon (PTC) readthrough is considered a potential treatment for genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations. High concentrations of aminoglycosides induce low levels of PTC readthrough but also elicit severe toxicity. Identifying compounds that enhance PTC readthrough by aminoglycosides or reduce their toxicity is a continuing challenge. In humans, a binary complex of eukaryotic release factors 1 (eRF1) and 3 (eRF3a or eRF3b) mediates translation termination. They also participate in the SURF (SMG1-UPF1-eRF1-eRF3) complex assembly involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). We show that PTC readthrough by aminoglycoside G418 is considerably enhanced by eRF3a and eRF3b siRNAs and cereblon E3 ligase modulators CC-885 and CC-90009, which induce proteasomal degradation of eRF3a and eRF3b. eRF3 degradation also reduces eRF1 levels and upregulates UPF1 and selectively stabilizes TP53 transcripts bearing a nonsense mutation over WT, indicating NMD suppression. CC-90009 is considerably less toxic than CC-885 and it enhances PTC readthrough in combination with aminoglycosides in mucopolysaccharidosis type I-Hurler, late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and junctional epidermolysis bullosa patient-derived cells with nonsense mutations in the IDUA, TPP1, DMD and COL17A1 genes, respectively. Combination of CC-90009 with aminoglycosides such as gentamicin or ELX-02 may have potential for PTC readthrough therapy.

View all literature mentionsPublic database with millions of high-resolution images showing the spatial distribution of proteins in different normal human tissues and cancer types, as well as different human cell lines. The data is released together with application-specific validation performed for each antibody, including immunohistochemisty, Western blot analysis and, for a large fraction, a protein array assay and immunofluorescent based confocal microscopy. The database has been developed in a gene-centric manner with the inclusion of all human genes predicted from genome efforts. Search functionalities allow for complex queries regarding protein expression profiles, protein classes and chromosome location. Antibodies included have been analyzed using a standardized protocol in a single attempt without further efforts to optimize the procedure and therefore it cannot be excluded that certain observed binding properties are due to technical rather than biological reasons and that further optimization could result in a different outcome. Submission of antibodies: The Swedish Human Proteome Atlas (HPA) program, invites submission of antibodies from both academic and commercial sources to be included in the human protein atlas. All antibodies will be validated by the HPA-program by a standard procedure and antibodies that are accepted will be use in the tissue- profiling program to generate high-resolution immunohistochemistry images representing a wide spectrum of normal tissues and cancer types.
