The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a conserved and adaptive intracellular pathway that relieves the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by activating ER transmembrane stress sensors. As a consequence of ER stress, the inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is due to an increase in the phosphorylation of eIF2α, which has the effect of inhibiting translation. However, the role of NMD in maintaining ER homeostasis remains unclear. In this study, we found that the three NMD factors, up-frameshift (UPF)1, UPF2, or UPF3B, were required to negate the UPR. Among these three NMD factors, only UPF3B interacted with inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α). This interaction inhibited the kinase activity of IRE1α, abolished autophosphorylation, and reduced IRE1α clustering for ER stress. BiP and UPF3B jointly control the activation of IRE1α on both sides of the ER membrane. Under stress conditions, the phosphorylation of UPF3B was increased and the phosphorylated sites were identified. Both the UPF3B genetic mutation and phosphorylation at Thr169 of UPF3B abolished its interaction with IRE1α and UPF2, respectively, leading to activation of ER stress and NMD dysfunction. Our study reveals a key physiological role for UPF3B in the reciprocal regulatory relationship between NMD and ER stress.

: To examine the regulatory role of PCNA in MM, we have targeted PCNA with the experimental drug ATX-101 in three commercial cell lines (JJN3, RPMI 1660, AMO) and seven in-house patient-derived cell lines with a more primary cell-like phenotype (TK9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 18) and measured the systemic molecular effects. : We have used a multi-omics untargeted approach, measuring the gene expression (transcriptomics), a subproteomics approach measuring mainly signalling proteins and proteins in complex with these (signallomics) and quantitative metabolomics. These results are supplemented with traditional analysis, e.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay represents a biologic clearing system against aberrant mRNAs harboring nonsense and frameshift mutations and depends on three factors, UPF1, UPF2, and UPF3 (UPF3A, UPF3B). While germline pathogenic variants of UPF3B and UPF2 are known to be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, germline variants in UPF1 have not been reported, until date, as being associated with any human disorders. Herein, we report two unrelated patients with de novo UPF1 variants.

Article Synopsis
- Argininemia is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the arginase 1 enzyme, leading to severe health issues like spastic paraplegia and seizures; a healthy baby with mildly elevated arginine levels was identified in neonatal screening.
- Advanced genetic analysis methods, including Next Generation Sequencing and Sanger sequencing, were used to investigate the patient's genetic details, revealing a specific homozygous variant (c.57G > A) inherited from both parents.
- The study presents novel findings that this synonymous variant affects alternative splicing of the ARG1 gene, resulting in decreased expression of the associated mRNA and protein levels, and suggests the involvement of Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in this process.
The NEDD4-binding protein N4BP1 degrades mRNA substrates through the coding sequence independent of nonsense-mediated decay.

3'UTRs are recognized for their role in regulating mRNA turnover while the turnover of a specific group of mRNAs mediated by coding sequences (CDSs) remains poorly understood. N4BP1 is a critical inflammatory regulator in vivo with a molecular mechanism that is not yet clearly defined. Our study reveals that N4BP1 efficiently degrades its mRNA targets via CDS rather than the 3'-UTR.
