Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly1129 of human SMG7 protein. Background Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a process by which prematurely terminated transcripts are degraded before they can be translated (1-3). There are two differential processes for NMD in higher eukaryotes, endonucleolytic and exonucleolytic, which are governed by SMG6 (also known as EST1A) or SMG5 and SMG7, respectively (1,4-8). SMG5, SMG6, and SMG7 are structurally similar, but SMG6 contains a PIN domain with endonucleolytic activity. SMG5 contains a similar domain, but lacks critical residues for endonuclease activity. SMG7 does not contain a PIN domain (7). All three proteins are recruited to UPF1 when SMG1 phosphorylates it, and the NMD process significantly diverges later. Upon binding to UPF1, SMG5 and SMG7 can recruit decaying and deadenylating protein complexes, resulting in subsequent mRNA degradation via the XRN1 exonuclease and the exosome (8,9). SMG6, however, promotes decay through cleaving nonspecific sites within 40 nucleotides of the premature termination codon (PTC) (7,10). Interestingly, SMG6-mediated decay depends on either a functional SMG5 or SMG7 (11). NMD pathways are species-specific, with relying more on SMG6-mediated decay and yeast utilizing the decaying and deadenylating approach to mRNA turnover (12).
