Abstract excerpt
The gsr-1 gene encodes the only glutathione reductase in Caenorhabditis elegans and gsr-1 loss-of-function alleles have a fully penetrant embryonic lethal phenotype. Therefore, maintenance of glutathione redox homeostasis is essential for nematode survival. We report here that impairment of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway suppresses the embryonic lethality of gsr-1 mutants, allowing their normal...
