NMD: Nonsense-Mediated Defense [PDF]
Initially described as an RNA surveillance pathway, nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is also recognized to function in the regulation of host gene expression. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, three studies describe NMD-mediated defense strategies of plants and mammalian cells in response to pathogen infection.

Effect of a mixture of caffeine and nicotinamide on the solubility of vitamin (B2) in aqueous solution [PDF]
The effect of caffeine (CAF) and nicotinamide (NMD) on the solubility of a vitamin B2 derivative (FMN) has been evaluated for mixtures containing either a single hydrotrope (CAF or NMD) or the two hydrotropes simultaneously.

Large-scale evidence for conservation of NMD candidature across mammals. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Alternatively-spliced (AS) forms can vary protein function, intracellular localization and post-translational modifications. AS coupled with mRNA nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) can also control the transcript abundance.

The Substrates of Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay in Caenorhabditis elegans
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved pathway that strongly influences eukaryotic gene expression. Inactivating or inhibiting NMD affects the abundance of a substantial fraction of the transcriptome in numerous species.

Assessing the activity of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in lung cancer
Background Inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in tumor cells can suppress tumor growth through expressing new antigens whose mRNAs otherwise are degraded by NMD.

UPF3A is dispensable for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in mouse pluripotent and somatic cells
We generated a new Upf3a -inducible knockout mouse model and showed that UPF3A does not repress expressions of NMD target genes in embryonic stem cells, somatic fibroblasts, and multiple tissues from adult mice.

Developments in non-mandatory disclosures in annual reports of companies: A case study [PDF]
The paper investigates the extent of non-mandatory disclosure of information (NMD) in the annual reports of the 17 companies listed on the South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPSE) in Fiji, a developing country, and whether NMD by these companies has changed ...

Suppressing nonsense--a surprising function for 5-azacytidine. [PDF]
In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Bhuvanagiri et al report on a chemical means to convert molecular junk into gold. They identify a chemical inhibitor of a quality control pathway that is best known for its ability to clear cells of rubbish, but ...
