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.
