Abstract
Viral RNAs are susceptible to co-translational RNA decay pathways mediated by the RNA helicase Upstream frameshift 1 (Upf1). Upf1 is a key component in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), Staufen1-mediated mRNA decay (SMD), and structure-mediated RNA decay (SRD) pathways, among others. Diverse families of viruses have features that predispose them to Upf1 targeting, but have evolved means to escape decay through the action of cis-acting or trans-acting viral factors. Studies aimed at understanding how viruses are subjected to and circumvent NMD have increased our understanding of NMD target selection of host mRNAs. This review focuses on the knowledge gained from studying NMD in viral systems as well as related Upf1-dependent pathways and how these pathways restrict virus replication.Entities:
