Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A3 is a DEAD-box RNA helicase and a core component of the exon-junction complex (EJC). The EJC marks the location of exon:exon junctions following the removal of introns by splicing and plays a critical role in an mRNA surveillance program known as nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). NMD is often triggered by the presence of a premature termination codon (PTC) upstream of the EJC,...
