Abstract excerpt
mRNAs that contain premature stop codons are degraded selectively and rapidly in eukaryotes, a phenomenon termed 'nonsense-mediated mRNA decay' (NMD). We report here molecular analysis of smg-5, which encodes a novel protein required for NMD in Caenorhabditis elegans. Using a combination of immunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid assays, we identified a series of protein-protein interactions involving SMG-5....
