Direct RNA sequencing dataset of SMG1 KO mutant Physcomitrella (Physcomitrium patens)
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.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay efficiency varies in choroideremia providing a target to boost small molecule therapeutics [PDF]
Choroideremia (CHM) is an x-linked recessive chorioretinal dystrophy, with 30% caused by nonsense mutations in the CHM gene resulting in an in-frame premature termination codon (PTC).

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay, a Finely Regulated Mechanism
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.

Mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) cause long-QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). We previously described a homozygous LQT2 nonsense mutation Q1070X in which the mutant mRNA is degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) leading to a ...

Optimized approach for the identification of highly efficient correctors of nonsense mutations in human diseases. [PDF]
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.

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Factor Functions in Human Health and Disease
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a cellular surveillance mechanism that degrades mRNAs with a premature stop codon, avoiding the synthesis of C-terminally truncated proteins. In addition to faulty mRNAs, NMD recognises ~10% of endogenous transcripts

Insights into the assembly and architecture of a Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD)-competent mRNP [PDF]
The mammalian Staufen proteins (Stau1 and Stau2) mediate degradation of mRNA containing complex secondary structures in their 3’-untranslated region (UTR) through a pathway known as Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD).

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in animal embryogenesis: to die or not to die, that is the question [PDF]
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a well-studied cellular quality-control pathway. It decreases the half-lives of eukaryotic mRNAs that aberrantly contain premature termination codons and additionally regulates an estimated 10-20% of normal transcripts. NMD factors play crucial roles during embryogenesis in many animals.

Degradation of YRA1 Pre-mRNA in the cytoplasm requires translational repression, multiple modular intronic elements, Edc3p, and Mex67p. [PDF]
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

Strategies against nonsense: oxadiazoles as translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) [PDF]
This review focuses on the use of oxadiazoles as translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) to rescue the functional full-length protein expression in mendelian genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.
