Abstract excerpt
UPF1 RNA helicase plays a central role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which specifically recognizes aberrant mRNAs containing premature termination codons and targets them for degradation. Although NMD factors are highly conserved among eukaryotes, little is known about the role of NMD in...
