The RNA helicase DHX34 functions as a scaffold for SMG1-mediated UPF1 phosphorylation
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

The expression of UPF1 is regulated by a cap-independent translation initiation mechanism and a cryptic promoter within its 5’ untranslated region [PDF]
Regulation of gene expression occurs at several steps, including translation initiation. Under normal circumstances, translation initiation is mainly cap-dependent; however, several proteins can initiate translation in a cap-independent way, allowing the

Cdc48/p97 promotes degradation of aberrant nascent polypeptides bound to the ribosome [PDF]
Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis can initiate at ribosomes for myriad reasons including misfolding of a nascent chain or stalling of the ribosome during translation of mRNA.

Identification of targets of tumor suppressor microRNA-34a using a reporter library system [PDF]
miRNAs play critical roles in various biological processes by targeting specific mRNAs. Current approaches to identifying miRNA targets are insufficient for elucidation of a miRNA regulatory network. Here, we created a cell-based screening system using a

LncRNA PVT1 aggravates the progression of glioma via downregulating UPF1.
To uncover the influence of plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) on aggravating the progression of glioma via downregulating UPF1.The relative levels of PVT1 and UPF1 in glioma tissues were determined. PVT1 level in glioma patients in stage I+II and stage III+IV, and either with metastasis or not was examined as well.

The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway clears eukaryotic cells of mRNAs containing premature termination codons (PTCs) or normal stop codons located in specific contexts. It therefore plays an important role in gene expression regulation.

Experimental evidence on the multibidding mechanism [PDF]
Pérez-Castrillo and Wettstein (2002) and Veszteg (2004) propose the use of a multibidding mechanism for situations where agents have to choose a common project. Examples are decisions involving public goods (or public "bads").

A novel phosphorylation-independent interaction between SMG6 and UPF1 is essential for human NMD [PDF]
Eukaryotic mRNAs with premature translation-termination codons (PTCs) are recognized and eliminated by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). NMD substrates can be degraded by different routes that all require phosphorylated UPF1 (P-UPF1) as a starting ...
