Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay, a Finely Regulated Mechanism

Open access
Lejeune, Fabrice·2022·Biomedicines

Abstract

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is both a mechanism for rapidly eliminating mRNAs carrying a premature termination codon and a pathway that regulates many genes. This implies that NMD must be subject to regulation in order to allow, under certain physiological conditions, the expression of genes that are normally repressed by NMD. Therapeutically, it might be interesting to express certain NMD-repressed genes or to allow the synthesis of functional truncated proteins. Developing such approaches will require a good understanding of NMD regulation. This review describes the different levels of this regulation in human cells.

  • These findings support the involvement of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, as both mutations introduce premature termination codons that meet established criteria for triggering this pathway.

    “These findings collectively support the involvement of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), as both mutations introduce premature termination codons (PTCs) that meet the established criteria for triggering this pathway28.”

    From PLCG2 downregulation impairs synaptic function and increases Alzheimer’s disease hallmarks in neuronal cultures (2026) · cites this paper as [28]

    Section 2.1, “The NMD Reaction” (page unavailable), explains that a premature termination codon can trigger NMD and describes a criterion involving a downstream splicing event at least 50–55 nucleotides away. The review does not identify the two mutations in the citing sentence or establish that either meets that criterion, so it supports the mechanism but not its application to both mutations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
