Insights into the assembly and architecture of a Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD)-competent mRNP

The Staufen proteins recognize secondary structures in 3’-untranslated regions in mRNA transcripts and induce degradation of these mRNAs with the help of the RNA helicase UPF1. Here the authors report that the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor UPF2 mediates the interaction between Stau1 and UPF1 i...
