The Double Life of UPF1 in RNA and DNA Stability Pathways
11 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
The DNA and RNA helicase UPF1 is well known for its central role in Nonsense Mediated RNA Decay (NMD), which promotes degradation of mRNAs containing premature stop codons. However, we have recently demonstrated that human UPF1 is also essential for DNA replication and S phase progression. This function appears to be independent of NMD, which is not required for cell cycle progression. UPF1 physically interacts...
