Journal ArticleDOI
Gene expression regulation by upstream open reading frames and human disease.
TL;DR: The mechanisms through which uORFs regulate gene expression and how they can impact on the organism's response to different cell stress conditions are presented, giving special importance to genotype-phenotype correlations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of PABPC1 with the translation initiation complex is critical to the NMD resistance of AUG-proximal nonsense mutations
Isabel Peixeiro,Ângela Inácio,Cristina Barbosa,Ana Luísa Silva,Stephen A. Liebhaber,Luísa Romão +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that translation termination at an AUG-proximal PTC lacks the ribosome stalling that is evident in an NMD-sensitive PTC, contributing to an N MD-resistant PTC definition at an early phase of translation elongation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of human beta-globin mRNA stability and its impact on beta-thalassemia phenotype.
TL;DR: In this article, a review of mRNA stability mechanisms implicated in the control of β-globin gene expression and the surveillance pathways that prevent translation of aberrant βglobin mRNAs was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
GSTpi Expression in MPTP-Induced Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration of C57BL/6 Mouse Midbrain and Striatum
Margarida Castro-Caldas,Andreia Neves Carvalho,Isabel Peixeiro,Elsa Rodrigues,Maria Celeste Lechner,Maria João Gama +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that GSTpi expression may be part of the mechanism underlying the ability of glial cells to elicit protection against the mechanisms involved in MPTP-induced neuronal death.
