Genetic Characterization of smg-8 Mutants Reveals No Role in C. elegans Nonsense Mediated Decay

The nonsense mediated decay (NMD) pathway degrades mRNAs bearing premature translation termination codons. In mammals, SMG-8 has been implicated in the NMD pathway, in part by its association with SMG-1 kinase. Here we use four independent assays to show that C. elegans smg-8 is not required to degr...
