No-Go Decay mRNA cleavage in the ribosome exit tunnel produces 5′-OH ends phosphorylated by Trl1

Abstract

In the No-Go decay mRNA surveillance pathway, mRNAs containing stalled ribosomes are cleaved by an endoribonuclease. Here the authors show the endonucleolytic cleavage on the artificial No-Go decay target mRNAs, revealing downstream decay process by Trl1 kinase and the 5′ to 3′ exonuclease Dxo1.
