Premature termination codons enhance mRNA decapping in human cells.
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a eukaryotic surveillance process that promotes selective degradation of imperfect messages containing premature translation termination codons (PTCs). In yeast, PTCs trigger both deadenylylation-independent mRNA decapping, thereby allowing their rapid degradation by a 5' to 3' exonuclease, and to a smaller extent accelerated deadenylylation. It is not clea...
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...
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 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...
