Nucleotide resolution mapping of ribosome-bound RNA decay fragments in yeast cells expressing ATPase-deficient UPF1 reveals 3' UTR bound ribosomes and a role for UPF1 in post-termination ribosome recycling.

Casein kinase I, a pivotal kinase in the circadian clock encoded by ck-1a, is positively regulated by a novel RNA-binding protein that protects ck-1a transcripts from nonsense-mediated decay.
UPF1 mutations were reportedly present at high frequencies in a cohort of pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma patients, but these lesions are unlikely to be functional drivers of this cancer subtype.
GAS5 is related to osteoporosis by regulating the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells that acts as a promising treatment target for osteoporosis.
Dcp2 C-terminal domain cis-regulatory elements collaborating with specific activators control decapping enzyme targeting and activation by orchestrating sequential assembly of distinct decapping complexes.

Excess expression of the Gadd45 mRNA accounts for lethality when nonsense-mediated decay is lost in Drosophila and mammalian cells, revealing that this pathway is a critical gene regulatory mechanism.

Disruption of quality control pathways that function at distinct steps to mitigate errors in translation evoke similar cellular responses and pathologies.
