Abstract excerpt
The exon junction complex (EJC) is deposited on mRNAs by the process of pre-mRNA splicing and is a key effector of downstream mRNA metabolism. We previously demonstrated that human eIF4AIII, which is essential for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), constitutes at least part of the RNA-binding platform anchoring other EJC components to the spliced mRNA. To determine the regions of eIF4AIII that are functionally...
