The clothes make the mRNA: past and present trends in mRNP fashion

G Singh, G Pratt, GW Yeo… - Annual review of …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Throughout their lifetimes, messenger RNAs (mRNAs) associate with proteins to form
ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs). Since the discovery of the first mRNP component more than 40 …

The exon junction complex as a node of post-transcriptional networks

HL Hir, J Saulière, Z Wang - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2016 - nature.com
The exon junction complex (EJC) is deposited onto mRNAs following splicing and adopts a
unique structure, which can both stably bind to mRNAs and function as an anchor for diverse …

RNA-binding proteins: modular design for efficient function

BM Lunde, C Moore, G Varani - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2007 - nature.com

The nonsense-mediated decay RNA surveillance pathway

YF Chang, JS Imam, MF Wilkinson - Annu. Rev. Biochem., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a quality-control mechanism that selectively
degrades mRNAs harboring premature termination (nonsense) codons. If translated, these …

Nonsense-mediated decay approaches the clinic

JA Holbrook, G Neu-Yilik, MW Hentze, AE Kulozik - Nature genetics, 2004 - nature.com
Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) eliminates mRNAs containing premature termination
codons and thus helps limit the synthesis of abnormal proteins. New results uncover a …

Quality control of eukaryotic mRNA: safeguarding cells from abnormal mRNA function

O Isken, LE Maquat - Genes & development, 2007 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Cells routinely make mistakes. Some mistakes are encoded by the genome and may
manifest as inherited or acquired diseases. Other mistakes occur because metabolic …
