Is there a classical nonsense-mediated decay pathway in trypanosomes? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In many eukaryotes, messenger RNAs with premature termination codons are destroyed by a process called "nonsense-mediated decay", which requires the RNA helicase Upf1 and also, usually, an interacting factor, Upf2.

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020 Background Congenital aniridia is a severe ocular abnormality characterized by incomplete formation of the iris and many other ocular complications. Most cases are caused by the paired box 6 (PAX6) gene mutations generating premature termination codons ...

SMG5-SMG7 authorize nonsense-mediated mRNA decay by enabling SMG6 endonucleolytic activity
Nature Communications, 2021 Degradation of nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) substrates is carried out by two seemingly independent pathways, SMG6-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage and/or SMG5-SMG7-induced accelerated deadenylation.

Immunity of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SSY5 mRNA to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2014 The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway is a specialized pathway that triggers the rapid degradation of select mRNAs. Initially identified as a pathway that degrades mRNAs with premature termination codons, NMD is now recognized as a pathway that ...

Identification of novel post-transcriptional features in olfactory receptor family mRNAs. [PDF]
, 2015 Olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes comprise the largest gene family in mice. Despite their importance in olfaction, how most Olfr mRNAs are regulated remains unexplored.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay and Cancer
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved mRNA surveillance pathway that cells use to ensure the quality of transcripts and to fine-tune transcript abundance. The role of NMD in cancer development is complex. In some cases, tumors have exploited NMD to downregulate gene expression by apparently selecting for mutations causing destruction of key

Viruses and the cellular RNA decay machinery. [PDF]
, 2010 The ability to control cellular and viral gene expression, either globally or selectively, is central to a successful viral infection, and it is also crucial for the host to respond and eradicate pathogens.

Identification of a novel human E-Cadherin splice variant andassessment of its effects upon EMT-related events [PDF]
, 2018 Epithelial Cadherin (E-cadherin) is involved in calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. The E-cadherin decrease/loss is a hallmark of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a key event in tumor progression.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in the ADAMTS13 gene caused by a 29-nucleotide deletion
Haematologica, 2008 Background In mammalian cells a regulatory mechanism, known as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, degrades mRNA harboring premature termination codons. This mechanism is intron-dependent and functions as a quality control mechanism to eliminate abnormal ...
