Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved mechanism of mRNA degradation. NMD eliminates mRNAs containing premature termination codons (PTCs), preventing the production of truncated proteins with possible deleterious effects. However, there is mounting evidence that NMD factors, like Upf1, Upf2 and Upf3, participate in general regulation of gene expression, affecting the expression of genes lacking PTCs. We have used the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe to identify mRNAs dir ...[more]
