title: CBP80 choreographs the NMD two-step.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Hwang et al. (2010) show that the cap-binding protein CBP80 promotes nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) at two steps. In this dual capacity, CBP80 may facilitate essential communication between the premature termination codon (PTC) and the exon-junction complex (EJC) to trigger NMD.
