Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), an mRNA quality surveillance mechanism, was suppressed under environmental stresses and mild endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress preconditioning. NMD suppression under mild ER stress preconditioning up-regulated the expression of mutant disease-related mRNA carrying premature termination codon (PTC) and restored partially the defect of protein. Mild ER stress preconditioning-induced NMD suppression was caused by phospho-eukaryotic initiation factor 2α- mediated translation suppression and downregulation of some NMD components. Environmental stresses and ER stress preconditioning has potential to affect phenotypes of PTC-related diseases.
