Abstract excerpt
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway is best known for targeting mutant mRNAs containing premature termination codons for rapid degradation, but it is also required for regulation of many endogenous transcripts. Components of the NMD pathway were originally identified by forward genetic screens in yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans. In other organisms, the NMD pathway has been investigated by studying the...
