Abstract
The highly conserved Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway is a translation dependent mRNA degradation pathway. Although NMD is best known for its role in degrading mRNAs with premature termination codons (PTCs) generated during transcription, splicing, or damage to the mRNAs, NMD is now also recognized as a pathway with additional important functions. Notably, NMD precisely regulates protein coding natural mRNAs, hence controlling gene expression within several physiologically significant pathways. Such pathways affected by NMD include nutritional bio-metal homeostasis and metal ion detoxification, as well as crosstalk between these pathways. Here, we focus on the relationships between NMD and various metal homeostasis and detoxification pathways. We review the described role that the NMD pathway plays in magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper homeostasis, as well as cadmium detoxification.
