Recoding events occur when the meaning of a codon or series of<br />
codons is changed from that predicted by the genetic code. It may<br />
involve altered interactions between aminoacyl-tRNA<br />
and mRNA<br />
that are influenced by the ribosome<br />
Changes in codon<br />
meaning can be caused<br />
by mutant tRNAs or by<br />
tRNAs with special<br />
properties.<br />
The reading frame can<br />
be changed by<br />
frameshifting or<br />
bypassing, both of which<br />
depend on properties of<br />
the mRNA.
