No-go decay (NGD) targets mRNAs with stalls in translation elongation for endonucleolytic cleavage in a process involving the Dom34 and Hbs1 proteins. The crystal structure of a Schizosaccharomyces pombe Dom34-Hbs1 complex reveals an overall shape similar to that of eRF1-eRF3-GTP and EF-Tu-tRNA-GDPNP. Similarly to eRF1 and GTP binding to eRF3, Dom34 and GTP bind to Hbs1 with strong cooperativity, and Dom34 acts as a GTP-dissociation inhibitor (GDI). A marked conformational change in Dom34 occurs upon binding to Hbs1, leading Dom34 to resemble a portion of a tRNA and to position a conserved basic region in a position expected to be near the peptidyl transferase center. These results support the idea that the Dom34-Hbs1 complex functions to terminate translation and thereby commit mRNAs to NGD. Consistent with this role, NGD at runs of arginine codons, which cause a strong block to elongation, is independent of the Dom34-Hbs1 complex.

The unfolded protein response (UPR) monitors and adjusts the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In , the ER membrane-resident kinase/endoribonuclease Ire1 utilizes a mechanism of selective degradation of ER-bound mRNAs (RIDD) to maintain homeostasis. We used a genetic screen to identify factors critical to the Ire1-mediated UPR and found several proteins, Dom34, Hbs1 and Ski complex subunits, previously implicated in ribosome rescue and mRNA no-go-decay (NGD).

Cells of all organisms survey problems during translation elongation, which may happen as a consequence of mRNA aberrations, inefficient decoding, or other sources. In eukaryotes, ribosome-associated quality control (RQC) senses elongation-stalled ribosomes and promotes dissociation of ribosomal subunits. This so-called ribosomal rescue releases the mRNA for degradation and allows 40S subunits to be recycled for new rounds of translation.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are toxic by-products of normal aerobic metabolism. ROS can damage mRNAs and the translational apparatus resulting in translational defects and aberrant protein production. Three mRNA quality control systems monitor mRNAs for translational errors: nonsense-mediated decay, non-stop decay (NSD) and no-go decay (NGD) pathways.

The surveillance of mRNA translation is imperative for homeostasis. Monitoring the integrity of the message is essential, as the translation of aberrant mRNAs leads to stalling of the translational machinery. During ribosomal rescue, arrested ribosomes are specifically recognized by the conserved eukaryotic proteins Dom34 and Hbs1, to initiate their recycling.

Cotranslational degradation of polypeptide nascent chains plays a critical role in quality control of protein synthesis and the rescue of stalled ribosomes. In eukaryotes, ribosome stalling triggers release of 60S subunits with attached nascent polypeptides, which undergo ubiquitination by the E3 ligase Ltn1 and proteasomal degradation facilitated by the ATPase Cdc48. However, the identity of factors acting upstream in this process is less clear.
