Abstract

Nonsense-mutation-containing messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) transit through cytoplasmic foci called P-bodies before undergoing nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a cytoplasmic mRNA surveillance mechanism. This study shows that the cytoskeleton modulates transport of nonsense-mutation-containing mRNPs to and from P-bodies. Impairing the integrity of cytoskeleton causes inhibition of NMD. The cytoskeleton thus plays a crucial role in NMD. Interestingly, disruption of actin filaments results in both inhibition of NMD and activation of readthrough, while disruption of microtubules causes only NMD inhibition. Activation of readthrough occurs concomitantly with the appearance of cytoplasmic foci containing UPF proteins and mRNAs with nonsense mutations but lacking the P-body marker DCP1a. These findings demonstrate that in human cells, readthrough occurs in novel "readthrough bodies" and requires the presence of UPF proteins.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 August 2017.
All research outputs
#16,051,091
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Cell Science
#6,770
of 9,021 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,103
of 421,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Cell Science
#188
of 311 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,021 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 421,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 311 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
