Explore the intricate mechanism of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and post-transcriptional gene regulation through the spatial rearrangement of the 3' untranslated region. Discover how factors such as PABPC1 and Upf complex recruitment influence mRNA stability and NMD. This unified model sheds light on the delicate balance of stimulators and antagonists in NMD.
