Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Regulation of RUVBL1-RUVBL2 AAA-ATPases by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor DHX34, as evidenced by Cryo-EM

eLife, 2020
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a surveillance pathway that degrades aberrant mRNAs and also regulates the expression of a wide range of physiological transcripts.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay efficiency varies in choroideremia providing a target to boost small molecule therapeutics [PDF]

, 2019
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).

Compound heterozygous SLC12A5 variants expand the molecular and functional spectrum of KCC2‐developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Overview of the multimodal experimental approach integrating clinical, genetic, in silico, and in vitro investigations. Clinical: Representative EEG recording setup and ictal traces from affected patients. Genetic: Pedigrees for Families A and B highlighting the inheritance of the four identified SLC12A5 variants (A1, A2, B1, B2).

Noisy splicing, more than expression regulation, explains why some exons are subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

BMC Biology, 2009
BackgroundNonsense-mediated decay is a mechanism that degrades mRNAs with a premature termination codon. That some exons have premature termination codons at fixation is paradoxical: why make a transcript if it is only to be destroyed? One model supposes

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]

, 2015
Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...

Evaluation of factor V mRNA to define the residual factor V expression levels in severe factor V deficiency

Haematologica, 2008
We evaluated FV mRNA in severe factor V deficiency caused by the -12T/A IVS18 mutation, activating a cryptic splice site and leading to premature translation termination. Quantitative evaluation of factor V cDNA from homozygous and heterozygous subjects,

Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency due to a homozygous SPINK1 pathogenic variant in two siblings: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is a rare condition, most often encountered in the context of cystic fibrosis or Shwachman–Diamond syndrome. The SPINK1 gene encodes a trypsin inhibitor protein that prevents the premature activation of digestive enzymes in pancreatic tissue.

New insights into no-go, non-stop and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay complexes.

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2020
Eukaryotes possess a variety of translational control mechanisms which function in the surveillance of mRNAs, discriminating between normal and aberrant translation elongation and termination, triggering mRNA decay.
