Posttranscriptional Gene Regulation by Spatial Rearrangement of the 3′ Untranslated Region Andrea B. Eberle, Lukas Stalder, Hansruedi Mathys, Rodolfo Zamudio Orozco, Oliver Mühlemann Charu Shukla 9/9/08
Nonsense Mediated mRNA Decay • A post transcriptional translation-dependent surveillance mechanism that prevents the synthesis of proteins carrying PTC • Transcripts with upstream open reading frame • Transcripts containing introns in the 3’ UTR • Transcripts derived from alternative splicing
Simplified model of NMD. Nature Genetics 36, 801 - 808 (2004) Kulozik et al
(I) 3’ UTR Extensions Reduce mRNA Half Life by NMD Distance b/w TC and poly(A) tail is crucial for NMD
(3) mRNA stability depends on the distance b/w PTC and Poly(A) tail
