Applying nonsense-mediated mRNA decay research to the clinic: progress and challenges

TL;DR: How to determine which PTCs elicit NMD is reviewed, what is currently known about the mechanism of NMD, and additional information that is pertinent to establishing therapies for PTC-associated diseases are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Linker Histone Hho1p Functionally Interacts with Core Histone H4 and Negatively Regulates the Establishment of Transcriptionally Silent Chromatin

TL;DR: Deletion of HHO1 (hho1Δ) suppresses the defect in transcriptional silencing caused by a mutation in the globular domain of histone H4 and provides evidence that Hho1p hinders the de novo establishment of silent Chromatin but does not affect the stability of preexistent silent chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Esc2p Interacts with Sir2p through a Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier (SUMO)-binding Motif and Regulates Transcriptionally Silent Chromatin in a Locus-dependent Manner

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that ESC2 differentially regulates silent chromatin at telomeric, rDNA, and HM loci, and a putative SUMO-binding motif that is necessary and sufficient for interacting with Sir2p and SUMO and is required for the function of Esc2p in transcriptional silencing is identified.
