Strategies against nonsense: oxadiazoles as translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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.

A role for AKT1 in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2021
AbstractNonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a highly regulated quality control mechanism through which mRNAs harboring a premature termination codon are degraded. It is also a regulatory pathway for some genes. This mechanism is subject to various levels of regulation, including phosphorylation.

The Branched Nature of the Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Pathway.

open access: yesTrends in Genetics, 2020
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved translation-coupled quality control mechanism in all eukaryotes that regulates the expression of a significant fraction of both the aberrant and normal transcriptomes.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay uses complementary mechanisms to suppress mRNA and protein accumulation

open access: yesLife 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

Interaction of yeast eIF4G with spliceosome components Implications in pre-mRNA processing events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
International audienceAs evidenced from mammalian cells the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G has a putative role in nuclear RNA metabolism. Here we investigate whether this role is conserved in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in neuronal physiology and neurodegeneration.

open access: yesTrends in Neurosciences, 2023
The processes of mRNA export from the nucleus and subsequent mRNA translation in the cytoplasm are of particular relevance in eukaryotic cells. In highly polarised cells such as neurons, finely-tuned molecular regulation of these processes serves to ...

Increased chromosomal radiosensitivity in asymptomatic carriers of a heterozygous BRCA1 mutation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Breast cancer risk increases drastically in individuals carrying a germline BRCA1 mutation. The exposure to ionizing radiation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes of BRCA1 mutation carriers is counterintuitive, since BRCA1 is active in the

Identifying RNA splicing factors using IFT genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Intraflagellar transport moves proteins in and out of flagella/cilia and it is essential for the assembly of these organelles. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified splice site mutations in two IFT genes,

Caspases shutdown nonsense-mediated mRNA decay during apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Differentiation, 2015
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is an mRNA surveillance mechanism that plays integral roles in eliminating mRNAs with premature termination codons to prevent the synthesis of truncated proteins that could be pathogenic. One response to the accumulation of detrimental proteins is apoptosis, which involves the activation of enzymatic pathways leading ...

Global analyses of UPF1 binding and function reveal expanded scope of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

open access: yesGenome Research, 2013
UPF1 is a DNA/RNA helicase with essential roles in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and embryonic development. How UPF1 regulates target abundance and the relationship between NMD and embryogenesis are not well understood. To explore how NMD shapes the
