title: Smg1 nonsense mutations do not abolish nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in Drosophila melanogaster.
abstract: Smg1 is a key component of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) in Caenorhabditis elegans and mammals. Here we report that two nonsense alleles of the ortholog of Smg1 do not affect NMD in Drosophila melanogaster.
