Leaky termination at premature stop codons antagonizes nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in S. cerevisiae.
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 PRPF31 cause retinitis pigmentosa via haploinsufficiency due to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
Dominant mutations in the gene encoding the mRNA splicing factor PRPF31 cause retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary form of retinal degeneration. Most of these mutations are characterized by DNA changes that lead to premature termination codons. We investigated 6 different PRPF31 mutations, represented by single-base substitutions or microdeletions, in cell lines derived from 9 patients with domin...
متن کاملThe nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway triggers degradation of most BRCA1 mRNAs bearing premature termination codons.
Germline mutations in the BRCA1 gene are scattered over the 22 coding exons and most of them generate premature termination codons (PTCs). A mechanism called nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is known to specifically degrade transcripts with PTCs; however, steady-state amounts of mutant BRCA1 mRNAs have very rarely been measured. Although growing evidence implicates downstream exon-exon juncti...
متن کاملAberrant termination triggers nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
NMD (nonsense-mediated mRNA decay) is a cellular quality-control mechanism in which an otherwise stable mRNA is destabilized by the presence of a premature termination codon. We have defined the set of endogenous NMD substrates, demonstrated that they are available for NMD at every round of translation, and showed that premature termination and normal termination are not equivalent biochemical ...
