Nonsense mutations result in premature termination of polypeptide chain synthesis at the site where the nonsense codon occurs in the messenger RNA. Nonsense mutations can lead to a pleiotropic polar effect reducing the level of expression of genes operator-distal to the nonsense mutation in the bacterial operon. To select for nonsense mutations in viral functions it is necessary to isolate the mutations in a genotype carrying a nonsense suppressor. 3, record 1, English, - nonsense%20mutation
