Abstract excerpt
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway decreases the abundance of mRNAs that contain premature termination codons and prevents suppression of nonsense alleles. The UPF1 gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was shown to be a trans-acting factor in this decay pathway. The Upf1p demonstrates RNA-dependent ATPase, RNA helicase, and RNA binding activities. The results presented here investigate the binding...
