Deskripsi

Gene expression is regulated by a range of mechanisms, including post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. Here the authors present evidence for a feedback mechanism whereby hyperphosphorylation of UPF1 in response to delays in nonsense-mediated decay enhances recruitment of mRNA decay machinery.
