Inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) by a new chemical molecule reveals the dynamic of NMD factors in P-bodies: P-body components dynamics
Abstract : In mammals, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a quality control mechanism that degrades mRNAs harboring a premature termination codon, in order to prevent the synthesis of truncated proteins. To gain insight into NMD mechanism, we identified NMDI 1 (for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay inhibitor 1) as a small molecule inhibitor of the NMD pathway. We characterized the mode of action of this compound and demonstrated that it acts upstream of hUPF1. NMDI 1 induced the loss of interactions between hSMG5 and hUPF1 and the stabilization of hyperphosphorylated isoforms of hUPF1. Incubation of cells with NMDI 1 allowed us to demonstrate that NMD factors and mRNAs subject to NMD transit through processing bodies (P-bodies) as it is the case in yeast. The results suggest a model in which mRNA and NMD factors are sequentially recruited to P-bodies.
