Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotes have evolved a variety of mRNA surveillance mechanisms to detect and degrade aberrant mRNAs with potential deleterious outcomes. Among them, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) functions not only as a quality control mechanism targeting aberrant mRNAs containing a premature termination codon but also as a posttranscriptional gene regulation mechanism targeting numerous physiological mRNAs. Despite its...
