Messenger RNA decay, which is a regulated process intimately linked to translation, begins with the deadenylation of the poly(A) tail at the 3' end. However, the precise mechanism triggering the first step of mRNA decay and its relationship to translation have not been elucidated. Here, we show that the translation termination factor eRF3 mediates mRNA deadenylation and decay in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The N-domain of eRF3, which is not necessarily required for translation termination, interacts with the poly(A)-binding protein PABP. When this interaction is blocked by means of deletion or overexpression of the N-domain of eRF3, half-lives of all mRNAs are prolonged. The eRF3 mutant lacking the N-domain is deficient in the poly(A) shortening. Furthermore, the eRF3-mediated mRNA decay requires translation to proceed, especially ribosomal transition through the termination codon. These results indicate that the N-domain of eRF3 mediates mRNA decay by regulating deadenylation in a manner coupled to translation.

D011328 Prions Small proteinaceous infectious particles which resist inactivation by procedures that modify NUCLEIC ACIDS and contain an abnormal isoform of a cellular protein which is a major and necessary component. The abnormal (scrapie) isoform is PrPSc (PRPSC PROTEINS) and the cellular isoform PrPC (PRPC PROTEINS). The primary amino acid sequence of the two isoforms is identical. Human diseases caused by prions include CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME; GERSTMANN-STRAUSSLER SYNDROME; and INSOMNIA, FATAL FAMILIAL. Mink Encephalopathy Virus,Prion,Encephalopathy Virus, Mink

Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
