Evidence that the Upf1-related molecular motor scans the 3′-UTR to ensure mRNA integrity

Upf1 is a highly conserved RNA helicase essential for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), an mRNA quality-control mechanism that degrades aberrant mRNAs harboring premature termination codons (PTCs). For the activation of NMD, UPF1 interacts first with a translation–terminating ribosome and then wit...
