HL Hir, J Saulière, Z Wang - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2016 - nature.com
The exon junction complex (EJC) is deposited onto mRNAs following splicing and adopts a
unique structure, which can both stably bind to mRNAs and function as an anchor for diverse …

EY Shum, SH Jones, A Shao, JN Chousal, MD Krause… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
Gene duplication is a major evolutionary force driving adaptation and speciation, as it allows
for the acquisition of new functions and can augment or diversify existing functions. Here, we …

Physiological and pathophysiological role of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

F Ottens, NH Gehring - Pflügers Archiv-European Journal of Physiology, 2016 - Springer
Nonsense-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) decay (NMD) is a quality control mechanism
that degrades irregular or faulty mRNAs. NMD mainly degrades mRNAs, which contain a …
