UPF1, an RNA helicase and a core factor of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), interacts with RNA independently of the sequence context. To investigate the influence of translation on the association of UPF1 with specific reporter transcripts, UPF1 RNA immunoprecipitations (RIPs) are performed from Hela cells that either express a normally translated immunoglobulin-µ (Ig-µ) reporter (mini µ) or a version with a stable stem loop in the 5' UTR (SL mini µ) that efficiently inhibit translation initiation (Zund et al., 2013). Both the cloning of the SL mini µ reporter construct and the UPF1 RIP experiment are described in detail.
