T Cell Receptor (TCR) Mini-Gene mRNA Expression Regulated by Nonsense Codons: A Nuclear-associated Translation-like Mechanism
Premature termination codons (PTCs) are known to decrease mRNA levels. Here, we report our investigation of the mechanism for this downregulation using the TCR-β gene, which acquires PTCs as a result of programmed rearrangements that occur during normal thymic development. We found that a mini-gene...
