Messenger RNA surveillance neutralizing natural nonsense


Messenger RNA surveillance: neutralizing natural nonsense.

25

Messenger RNA transcripts that contain premature stop codons are degraded by a process termed nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Although previously thought of as a pathway that rids the cell of non-functional mRNAs arising from mutations and processing errors, new research suggests a more general and evolutionarily important role for NMD in the control of gene expression.
