ATP hydrolysis by UPF1 is required for efficient translation termination at premature stop codons
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) represents a eukaryotic quality control pathway that recognizes and rapidly degrades transcripts harbouring nonsense mutations to limit accumulation of non-functional and potentially toxic truncated polypeptides. A critical component of the NMD machinery is UPF1, an RNA helicase whose ATPase activity is essential for NMD, but for which the precise function and...
متن کاملDifferences of Translation Termination Sites Among the Three Stop Codons
Most organisms use different mechanisms of translation termination for the three types of stop codons, i.e. UAA, UAG, and UGA [1]. Using the GenBank database, we have conducted comprehensive computer analyses of translation termination sites in order to find the difference of consensus sequence patterns around each type of stop codons. We also systematically analyzed the preference of stop codo...
متن کاملLeaky termination at premature stop codons antagonizes nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in <i>S. cerevisiae</i>
The Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay (NMD) pathway mediates the rapid degradation of mRNAs that contain premature stop mutations in eukaryotic organisms. It was recently shown that mutations in three yeast genes that encode proteins involved in the NMD process, UPF1, UPF2, and UPF3, also reduce the efficiency of translation termination. In the current study, we compared the efficiency of translatio...

متن کاملPremature termination codons in modern human genomes
The considerable range of genetic variation in human populations may partly reflect distinctive processes of adaptation to variable environmental conditions. However, the adaptive genomic signatures remain to be completely elucidated. This research explores candidate loci under selection at the population level by characterizing recently arisen premature termination codons (PTCs), some of which...
