Destabilization of Eukaryote mRNAs by 5′ Proximal Stop Codons Can Occur Independently of the Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Pathway

In eukaryotes, the binding of poly(A) binding protein (PAB) to the poly(A) tail is central to maintaining mRNA stability. PABP interacts with the translation termination apparatus, and with eIF4G to maintain 3′−5′ mRNA interactions as part of an mRNA closed loop. It is...
