Nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is regarded as the function of a specialized cytoplasmic translation-coupled mRNA decay pathway in eukaryotes, however, whether a premature translation termination codon (PTC) will lead to NMD often depends on splicing a downstream intron in the nucleus. Deposition of the exon junction complex (EJC) on mRNA is understood to mediate such splicing-dependent NMD in mammalian cells. The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has introns in only 5% of its genes, characteristically at the start of the coding region, and lacks proteins essential for EJC assembly, is not expected to undergo splicing-dependent NMD. However, we found that the presence of an intron near a PTC can also enhance NMD in this organism, regardless of whether it is downstream or upstream. These data provide evidence for a hitherto unsuspected EJC-independent mechanism linking translation and pre-mRNA in S. cerevisiae.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
