The RNA helicase DHX34 functions as a scaffold for SMG1-mediated UPF1 phosphorylation

UPF1 is a central Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay—(NMD), a mechanism to degrade mRNAs containing premature translation termination codons-factor—whose phosphorylation is key to triggering NMD. Here the authors show that the DHX34 helicase acts as a scaffold in promoting UPF1 phosphorylation by SMG1 to...
