Abstract / Description of output
mRNA surveillance pathways are essential for accurate gene
expression and to maintain translation homeostasis, ensuring the
production of fully functional proteins. Future insights into mRNA
quality control pathways will enable us to understand how cellular
mRNA levels are controlled, how defective or unwanted mRNAs
can be eliminated, and how dysregulation of these can contribute
to human disease. Here we review translation-coupled mRNA quality control mechanisms, including the non-stop and no-go mRNA
decay pathways, describing their mechanisms, shared trans-acting
factors, and differences. We also describe advances in our understanding of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway,
highlighting recent mechanistic findings, the discovery of novel
factors, as well as the role of NMD in cellular physiology and its
impact on human disease
