Here, we report structures of the 70S ribosome bound to frameshift suppressor tRNASufA6 and N1-methylguanosine at position 37 (m1G37) modification-deficient anticodon stem loopPro, both of which cause the ribosome to decode 4 rather than 3 nucleotides, resulting in a +1 reading frame. Our results reveal that decoding at +1 suppressible codons causes suppressor tRNASufA6 to undergo a rearrangement of its 5' stem that destabilizes U32, thereby disrupting the conserved U32-A38 base pair. Unexpectedly, the removal of the m1G37 modification of tRNAPro also disrupts U32-A38 pairing in a structurally analogous manner. The lack of U32-A38 pairing provides a structural correlation between the transition from canonical translation and a +1 reading of the mRNA. Our structures clarify the molecular mechanism behind suppressor tRNA-induced +1 frameshifting and advance our understanding of the role played by the ribosome in maintaining the correct translational reading frame.
