RNA-seq and Ribotag analyses identified classes of mRNAs expressed and translated at different levels in WT and Upf3b-null mOSNs. Integrating multiple computational approaches, UPF3B-dependent NMD target transcripts that are candidates to mediate the functions of NMD in mOSNs were identified in vivo. We identified UPF3B-regulated genes in mOSNs by performing RNA-seq analysis on FACSpurified mOSNs (YFP+ cells) from R26-eYFP; Omp-Cre mice (Figure 1-figure supplement 1B) . Among the antimicrobial genes expressed and upregulated in Upf3b-null OSN precursors and OSNs was Camp (also known as 'Cramp'), which encodes a member of the cathelicidin family of antimicrobial peptides that has an important role in the defense against microbial infections, and functions in cell chemotaxis, immune mediator induction, and inflammatory response regulation (Zhang and Gallo, 2016) . ./cache/cord-012552-porty653.txt ./txt/cord-012552-porty653.txt
