Abstract excerpt
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway monitors premature translation termination and degrades aberrant mRNAs. In yeast, it has been proposed that a surveillance complex searches 3' of a nonsense codon for a downstream sequence element (DSE) associated with RNA-binding proteins. An interaction between the complex and the DSE-binding protein(s) triggers NMD. Here we describe the identification and...
