Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2022 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) degrades transcripts with premature stop codons. Given the prevalence of nonsense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the general population, it is urgent to catalog the effects of clinically approved drugs on NMD

Suppressing nonsense--a surprising function for 5-azacytidine. [PDF]
, 2014 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 ...

Beyond quality control: The role of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in regulating gene expression [PDF]
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2018 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) has traditionally been described as a quality control system that rids cells of aberrant mRNAs with crippled protein coding potential. However, transcriptome-wide profiling of NMD deficient cells identified a plethora of seemingly intact mRNAs coding for functional proteins as NMD targets.

ATP hydrolysis by UPF1 is required for efficient translation termination at premature stop codons
Nature Communications, 2016 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a quality control pathway that recognizes and degrades transcripts harbouring nonsense mutations. Here the authors show that the ATPase activity of UPF1 mediates functional interactions between the NMD machinery and ...

Identifying Potent Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Inhibitors with a Novel Screening System
Biomedicines, 2023 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a quality control mechanism that degrades mRNAs carrying a premature termination codon. Its inhibition, alone or in combination with other approaches, could be exploited to develop therapies for genetic diseases ...

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.

Nature Communications, 2020 Cellular nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) has been shown to play a role in defense against RNA viruses. Here, Zhao et al. show that NMD restricts the DNA virus Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) via targeting both cellular and viral ...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay uses complementary mechanisms to suppress mRNA and protein accumulation
Life Science Alliance, 2022 A reporter system for quantitative measurements of NMD-sensitive mRNA and protein levels in mammalian cells shows that NMD suppresses protein levels to a greater degree than RNA levels. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is an essential, highly conserved
