Possible roles of translation and NMD in the metabolism of (as)lncRNAs. Schematic representation of the functional importance of NMD and translation in lncRNAs metabolism (see main text for details). The chain of blue balls represents the micropeptide produced upon the translation of the smORF (red arrow) of the (as)lncRNA. The ribosome, the (as)lncRNA and the NMD/decay factors are represented as above.
