NMD y EJC: control de calidad de la expresión génica

Lo prometido es deuda!)

La expresión de genes en las formas de vida eucariotas comprende un gran número de fenómenos interconectados entre sí, cuya coordinación ha favorecido la aparición de mecanismos de control de calidad y vigilancia de los RNA mensajeros. Uno de estos mecanismos es el llamado Nonsense-mediated Decay (NMD), desempeñado por un complejo multiproteico de vigilancia capaz de detectar codones de stop prematuros (PTC) en los mRNA, señalizando la detención de la traducción, el desensamblaje del ribosoma, la degradación del péptido naciente y del propio mRNA.

Here’s some sort of a mix between a self-letter and a open message to everyone who find it. I just have the need to tell something to somebody, so many words to express so many things, and I hope you can feel/enjoy this as much as I did writing it.
