Abstract excerpt
The ATP-dependent RNA helicase Up-frameshift 1 (UPF1) is an essential protein in mammalian cells and a key factor in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a translation-dependent mRNA surveillance process. UPF1 is mainly cytoplasmic at steady state but accumulates in the nucleus after inhibiting CRM1-mediated nuclear export by leptomycin B (LMB), indicating that UPF1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm....
