MeSH Heading: Frameshifting, Ribosomal
Tree Number(s): G02.111.660.871.200; G03.734.871.200; G05.308.215
Unique ID: D018965
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018965
Annotation: do not confuse with FRAMESHIFT MUTATION, non-physiol insertion or deletion of coding sequence nucleotides
Scope Note: A directed change in translational READING FRAMES that allows the production of a single protein from two or more OVERLAPPING GENES. The process is programmed by the nucleotide sequence of the MRNA and is sometimes also affected by the secondary or tertiary mRNA structure. It has been described mainly in VIRUSES (especially RETROVIRUSES); RETROTRANSPOSONS; and bacterial insertion elements but also in some cellular genes.
Entry Term(s): Frameshifting, Translational; Ribosomal Frame Shift; Ribosomal Frame Shifting; Ribosomal Frameshift; Ribosomal Frameshifting
Previous Indexing: Frameshift Mutation (1991-1995); Ribosomes (1979-1995); Translation, Genetic (1979-1995)
