Active site assembly by SMG5 as a mechanism for SMG6 endonuclease licensing in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay
2025-12-28
Abstract excerpt
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved eukaryotic surveillance pathway that eliminates transcripts containing premature termination codons (PTCs). While the recognition phase of NMD is well characterised, the effector step – how targeted mRNAs are nucleolytically degraded – remains incompletely understood. In metazoans, NMD employs an endonucleolytic route mediated by SMG6, a PIN-domain nuclease, alongs...
