Abstract excerpt
The Upf1 protein in yeast has been implicated in the modulation of efficient translation termination as well as in the accelerated turnover of mRNAs containing premature stop codons, a phenomenon called nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). A human homolog of the yeast UPF1, termed HUpf1/RENT1, has also been identified. The HUpf1 has also been shown to play a role in NMD in mammalian cells. Comparison of the yeast...
