MicroRNA-mediated repression of nonsense mRNAs
eLife, 2014 Numerous studies have established important roles for microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating gene expression. Here, we report that miRNAs also serve as a surveillance system to repress the expression of nonsense mRNAs that may produce harmful truncated ...

The RNA helicase DHX34 functions as a scaffold for SMG1-mediated UPF1 phosphorylation
Nature Communications, 2016 UPF1 is a central Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay—(NMD), a mechanism to degrade mRNAs containing premature translation termination codons-factor—whose phosphorylation is key to triggering NMD. Here the authors show that the DHX34 helicase acts as a scaffold

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay, a Finely Regulated Mechanism
Biomedicines, 2022 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is both a mechanism for rapidly eliminating mRNAs carrying a premature termination codon and a pathway that regulates many genes.

Direct RNA sequencing dataset of SMG1 KO mutant Physcomitrella (Physcomitrium patens)
Data in Brief, 2020 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a system that controls the quality of mRNA transcripts in eukaryotes by degradation of aberrant transcripts in a pioneer round of translation.

The mRNA encoding the yeast ARE-binding protein Cth2 is generated by a novel 3 ' processing pathway [PDF]
, 2008 Microarray analyses of mRNAs over-expressed in strains lacking the nuclear exosome component Rrp6 identified the transcript encoding the ARE-binding protein Cth2, which functions in cytoplasmic mRNA stability.

Optimized approach for the identification of highly efficient correctors of nonsense mutations in human diseases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 About 10% of patients with a genetic disease carry a nonsense mutation causing their pathology. A strategy for correcting nonsense mutations is premature termination codon (PTC) readthrough, i.e.

Degradation of YRA1 Pre-mRNA in the cytoplasm requires translational repression, multiple modular intronic elements, Edc3p, and Mex67p. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2010 Intron-containing pre-mRNAs are normally retained and processed in the nucleus but are sometimes exported to the cytoplasm and degraded by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway as a consequence of their inclusion of intronic in-frame termination

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay: novel mechanistic insights and biological impact [PDF]
, 2016 Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) was originally coined to define a quality control mechanism that targets mRNAs with truncated open reading frames due to the presence of a premature termination codon.

Degradation of Gadd45 mRNA by nonsense-mediated decay is essential for viability
eLife, 2016 The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway functions to degrade both abnormal and wild-type mRNAs. NMD is essential for viability in most organisms, but the molecular basis for this requirement is unknown.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
