Congratulations Tiffany!
Tiffany Wong presented her Senior Thesis yesterday: "Investigating the Tissue Specificity and Efficiency of Translational Stop Codon Readthrough in Drosophila". This presentation and poster are the culmination of a ton of hard work she did in the Cooley Lab over the last few years. Congratulations Tiffany!

PNAS paper from the Cooley and Atkins labs!
Translational stop codon readthrough occurs in organisms ranging from viruses to mammals and is especially prevalent in decoding Drosophila and viral mRNAs. We characterize major efficiency differences in a variety of cell types. Reporters of readthrough demonstrated greater than 30% readthrough in adult brains, in neurons but not glia. The extent of readthrough stimulatory sequences flanking the readthrough stop codon was assessed in transgenic Drosophila and in human tissue culture cells where inefficient readthrough occurs. A 99-nucleotide sequence with potential to form an mRNA stem-loop 3′ of the readthrough stop codon stimulated readthrough efficiency.

In collaboration with the Atkins Lab, a new Cooley Lab paper accepted to PNAS! (publication date pending- here it is on BioRxiv)
Tissue-specific dynamic codon redefinition in Drosophila. We show that high-effficiency readthrough in the CNS is common in Drosophila, raising the possibility that the neuronal proteome includes many proteins with conserved C-terminal extensions. This work provides new evidence for a remarkable degree of tissue- and cell-specific dynamic stop codon redefinition in Drosophila.
