UPF3A and UPF3B are paralogous genes in human cells that are involved in the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. NMD is a cellular quality control mechanism that monitors mRNAs during translation. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction activates NMD and leads to the degradation of the mRNA. To investigate the role of UPF3B and UPF3A in NMD, we have generated UPF3A overexpressing human HeLa Flp-In T-REx cells using the PiggyBac transposon system. We generated RNA-Sequencing data for wild type and UPF3A overexpressing (OE) cells.
