Abstract excerpt
mRNA degradation is coupled with the process of mRNA translation. For example, an mRNA molecule, on which translation is prematurely terminated because of a nonsense codon, may be rapidly degraded. This nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mediated by the Upf1 and Upf2 proteins. Yeast mRNAs can also be selectively destabilized by limiting the rate of translation initiation. Two...
