Rules that govern UPF1 binding to mRNA 3' UTRs.
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which degrades transcripts harboring a premature termination codon (PTC), depends on the helicase up-frameshift 1 (UPF1). However, mRNAs that are not NMD targets also bind UPF1. What governs the timing, position, and function of UPF1 binding to mRNAs remains unclear. We provide evidence that (i) multiple UPF1 molecules accumulate on the 3'-untranslated region...
متن کاملMammalian Staufen1 Recruits Upf1 to Specific mRNA 3′UTRs so as to Elicit mRNA Decay
Mammalian Staufen (Stau)1 is an RNA binding protein that is thought to function in mRNA transport and translational control. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) degrades abnormal and natural mRNAs that terminate translation sufficiently upstream of a splicing-generated exon-exon junction. Here we describe an mRNA decay mechanism that involves Stau1, the NMD factor Upf1, and a termination codon. ...
متن کاملUpf1 Senses 3′UTR Length to Potentiate mRNA Decay
The selective degradation of mRNAs by the nonsense-mediated decay pathway is a quality control process with important consequences for human disease. From initial studies using RNA hairpin-tagged mRNAs for purification of messenger ribonucleoproteins assembled on transcripts with HIV-1 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) sequences, we uncover a two-step mechanism for Upf1-dependent degradation of mR...
متن کاملEvidence that the Upf1-related molecular motor scans the 3′-UTR to ensure mRNA integrity
Upf1 is a highly conserved RNA helicase essential for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), an mRNA quality-control mechanism that degrades aberrant mRNAs harboring premature termination codons (PTCs). For the activation of NMD, UPF1 interacts first with a translation-terminating ribosome and then with a downstream exon-junction complex (EJC), which is deposited at exon-exon junctions during spli...
متن کاملDiscovering Rules That Govern Monotone Phenomena
Unlocking the mystery of natural phenomena is a universal objective in scientific research. The rules governing a phenomenon can most often be learned by observing it under a sufficiently large number of conditions that are sufficiently high in resolution. The general knowledge discovery process is not always easy or efficient, and even if knowledge is produced it may be hard to understand, int...
