This new tRNA will bind to the 5’ UAG 3’ codon of the mRNA, one of the stop-codons. This means that this stop codon might be skipped and protein translation will go on.
Therefore, the main consequence of such mutation is that some part of newly synthesized proteins will contain additional C-terminal peptides of different length.
