Cellular variability of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]
Here the author developed a single-cell reporter system to identify cell-to-cell variability of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This approach provides a sensitive tool to investigate cellular heterogeneity of NMD in various physiological conditions.

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay, a Finely Regulated Mechanism [PDF]
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.

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Factor Functions in Human Health and Disease [PDF]
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

Hyperphosphorylation amplifies UPF1 activity to resolve stalls in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]
Gene expression is regulated by a range of mechanisms, including post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. Here the authors present evidence for a feedback mechanism whereby hyperphosphorylation of UPF1 in response to delays in nonsense ...

Insights into the assembly and architecture of a Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD)-competent mRNP [PDF]
The Staufen proteins recognize secondary structures in 3’-untranslated regions in mRNA transcripts and induce degradation of these mRNAs with the help of the RNA helicase UPF1.

SMG5-SMG7 authorize nonsense-mediated mRNA decay by enabling SMG6 endonucleolytic activity
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.

Molecular Interaction of Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay with Viruses [PDF]
The virus–host interaction is dynamic and evolutionary. Viruses have to fight with hosts to establish successful infection. Eukaryotic hosts are equipped with multiple defenses against incoming viruses.

Identifying Potent Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Inhibitors with a Novel Screening System [PDF]
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 ...

Virus Escape and Manipulation of Cellular Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay [PDF]
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a cellular RNA turnover pathway targeting RNAs with features resulting in aberrant translation termination, has recently been found to restrict the replication of positive-stranded RNA ((+)RNA) viruses.
