Stop codon readthrough-the decoding of a stop codon by a near-cognate tRNA-is employed by viruses to balance levels of enzymatic and structural proteins and by eukaryotic cells to enable isoform-specific protein synthesis in response to external stimuli. Owing to the prevalence of premature termination codons in human disease, readthrough has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target. A growing list of various features, for example the +4 nucleotide immediately following the stop codon, modulate readthrough levels, underscoring the need for systematic investigation of readthrough. Here, we identified and described a complete group of yeast tRNAs that induce readthrough in the stop-codon tetranucleotide manner when overexpressed, designated readthrough-inducing tRNAs (rti-tRNAs). These rti-tRNAs are the keystones of YARIS (yeast applied readthrough inducing system), a reporter-based assay enabling simultaneous detection of readthrough levels at all twelve stop-codon tetranucleotides and as a function of the complete set of rti-tRNAs. We demonstrate the utility of YARIS for systematic study of translation readthrough by employing it to interrogate the effects of natural rti-tRNA modifications, as well as various readthrough-inducing drugs (RTIDs). This analysis identified a variety of genetic interactions demonstrating the power of YARIS to characterize existing and identify novel RTIDs. © The Author(s) 2019.
