ABSTRACT: Mature mRNAs undergo quality control during translation that may lead to RNA degradation by triggering the nonsense mediated decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction or an intron in the 3'UTR activates NMD. However, many of the features that lead to the activation of this pathway are unclear. UPF1, an RNA helicase, is the core NMD factor. UPF1 forms a multi-protein complex by recruiting a series of factors and other protein complexes in a process that depends on the UPF1 phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle. Among the factors recruited by UPF1, SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 have critical importance in executing NMD. The SMG5-SMG7 heterodimer induces the exonucleolytic degradation of the mRNA, which depends on the recruitment of deadenylation factors. SMG6 has endonucleolytic activity and cleaves the targeted transcript close to the stop codon. The redundancy between the exonucleolytic and endonucleolytic paths to achieve degradation during NMD has been previously reported in the literature. To investigate the apparent redundancy between SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 activity and to further understand the features that lead to the activation of NMD, we have generated two clones of SMG7 knockout human cells using CRISPR-Cas9. We generated mRNA-Sequencing data for control and both SMG7 KO clones with additional siRNA-mediated knockdown of Luciferase (Luc) as control, SMG5 or SMG6.
