Overview

AAV-NoSTOP suppressor-tRNA is an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy platform designed to treat genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations. Developed by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, the platform delivers engineered suppressor transfer RNA (sup-tRNA) genes that recognize and read through premature termination codons (PTCs). This mechanism allows the cellular translation machinery to produce full-length, functional proteins from mutated mRNAs. Additionally, the therapy works synergistically to inhibit nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), thereby increasing the stability and abundance of the target mRNA. The platform is disease-agnostic and has demonstrated preclinical efficacy in models of Hurler syndrome (MPS-I), CLN2 disease, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by targeting specific stop codons such as UAG, UGA, and UAA.
