Two new approaches have identified physiological NMD substrates and suggest that NMD functions as a multipurpose tool in the modulation of gene expression. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay NMD is a specific pathway for the degradation of mRNAs that have premature termination codons PTCs in their open reading frames ORFs . Its importance is highlighted by its conservation in all eukaryotes. NMD counteracts the potentially harmful impact of mRNAs that have PTCs as a result of errors at various levels of gene expression such as nonsense and frameshift mutations transcriptional errors and faulty splicing. Thus NMD serves as a cellular vacuum cleaner that protects the cell from the potentially harmful effects of truncated proteins by eliminating mRNAs with PTCs in a sequence of events that is not yet fully understood. In recent years numerous biochemical and cell-biological investigations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1 Drosophila melanogaster 2 Caenorhabditis elegans 3 and human 4 5 cells have helped to elucidate some
