BACKGROUND Nonsense mutations are at the origin of many cancers and inherited genetic diseases. The consequence of nonsense mutations is often the absence of mutant gene expression due to the activation of an mRNA surveillance mechanism called nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Strategies to rescue the expression of nonsense-containing mRNAs have been developed such as NMD inhibition or nonsen...
We have recently shown that a third of reliably-inferred alternative mRNA isoforms are candidates for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), an mRNA surveillance system (Lewis et al., 2003; PROC: Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 100, 189-192). Rather than being translated to yield protein, these transcripts are expected to be degraded and may be subject to regulated unproductive splicing and translation (RUST...
Premature translation termination codons resulting from nonsense or frameshift mutations are common causes of genetic disorders. Complications arising from the synthesis of C-terminally truncated polypeptides can be avoided by 'nonsense-mediated decay' of the mutant mRNAs. Premature termination codons in the beta-globin mRNA cause the common recessive form of beta-thalassemia when the affected ...
All eukaryotic cells analyzed have developed mechanisms to eliminate the production of mRNAs that prematurely terminate translation. The mechanisms are thought to exist to protect cells from the deleterious effects of in-frame nonsense codons that are generated by routine inefficiencies and inaccuracies in RNA metabolism such as pre-mRNA splicing. Depending on the particular mRNA and how it is ...
The nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway is a specialized pathway that triggers the rapid degradation of select mRNAs. Initially, identified as a pathway that degrades mRNAs with premature termination codons, NMD is now recognized as a pathway that also regulates some natural mRNAs. Since natural mRNAs do not typically contain premature termination codons, these mRNAs contain features tha...
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), the loss of mRNAs carrying premature stop codons, is a process by which cells recognize and degrade nonsense mRNAs to prevent possibly toxic effects of truncated peptides. Most mammalian nonsense mRNAs are degraded while associated with the nucleus, but a few are degraded in the cytoplasm; at either site, there is a requirement for translation and for an intr...
Although first discovered in viruses, previous studies have identified operational -1 ribosomal frameshifting (-1 RF) signals in eukaryotic genomic sequences, and suggested a role in mRNA stability. Here, four yeast -1 RF signals are shown to promote significant mRNA destabilization through the nonsense mediated mRNA decay pathway (NMD), and genetic evidence is presented suggesting that they ma...
A major pathway of mRNA turnover in eukaryotic cells initiates with deadenylation, leading to mRNA decapping and subsequent 5' to 3' exonuclease digestion. We show that a highly conserved member of the DEAD box family of helicases, Dhh1p, stimulates mRNA decapping in yeast. In dhh1delta mutants, mRNAs accumulate as deadenylated, capped species. Dhh1p's effects on decapping only occur on normal ...
