The role of eIF3 subunits in the mechanism of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

Premature translation-termination codons (PTCs) or nonsense codons) can arise from mutations in germ or somatic cells. The introduction of a PTC into an mRNA can trigger nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), an important mRNA surveillance mechanism that typically recognizes and degrades mRNAs containing PT...
