UPF1 regulates mRNA stability by sensing poorly translated coding sequences
Summary: Post-transcriptional mRNA regulation shapes gene expression, yet how cis-elements and mRNA translation interface to regulate mRNA stability is poorly understood.

Background : Recently, accumulating evidence confirmed that up-frameshift protein 1 (UPF1) was aberrantly expressed in various cancers. However, the molecular mechanism mediated by UPF1 underlying colorectal carcinogenesis remains unclear.

UPF1 is proved to dysregulate in multiple tumors and influence carcinogenesis. However, the role of UPF1 in oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown.

The origins and consequences of UPF1 variants in pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma
Pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (PASC) is an aggressive cancer whose mutational origins are poorly understood. An early study reported high-frequency somatic mutations affecting UPF1, a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) factor, in PASC, but ...

UPF1 Learns to Relax and Unwind [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Chakrabarti et al. (2011) structurally reveal how UPF1, an RNA helicase that plays a central role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, is conformationally converted from a largely inactive state to an active state upon UPF2 binding.

Nuclear accumulation of host transcripts during Zika Virus Infection.
Zika virus (ZIKV) infects fetal neural progenitor cells (NPCs) causing severe neurodevelopmental disorders in utero. Multiple pathways involved in normal brain development are dysfunctional in infected NPCs but how ZIKV centrally reprograms these ...

UPF1 reduces C9orf72 HRE-induced neurotoxicity in the absence of nonsense-mediated decay dysfunction
Summary: Multiple cellular pathways have been suggested to be altered by the C9orf72 GGGGCC (G4C2) hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE), including aspects of RNA regulation such as nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

UPF1 helicase promotes TSN-mediated miRNA decay [PDF]
While microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the vast majority of protein-encoding transcripts, little is known about how miRNAs themselves are degraded. We recently described Tudor-staphylococcal/micrococcal-like nuclease (TSN)-mediated miRNA decay (TumiD) as a cellular pathway in which the nuclease TSN promotes the decay of miRNAs that contain CA and/or UA ...

Targeted knock-down of miR21 primary transcripts using snoMEN vectors induces apoptosis in human cancer cell lines [PDF]
We have previously reported an antisense technology, 'snoMEN vectors', for targeted knock-down of protein coding mRNAs using human snoRNAs manipulated to contain short regions of sequence complementarity with the mRNA target. Here we characterise the use

Chromatoid Body Protein TDRD6 Supports Long 3' UTR Triggered Nonsense Mediated mRNA Decay. [PDF]
Chromatoid bodies (CBs) are spermiogenesis-specific organelles of largely unknown function. CBs harbor various RNA species, RNA-associated proteins and proteins of the tudor domain family like TDRD6, which is required for a proper CB architecture ...
