Therefore, the transcriptome functions as a kind of catalog of all of the genes that are being expressed in a cell at a particular point in time. Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein ...

Ribosomes are themselves composed of a complex ... or carry out one of many other important cellular support functions.

What can stressed yeast teach us about fundamental processes in the cell? A lot, according to EMBL Heidelberg's Mattei Team.

The rRNA molecules fold into complex secondary and tertiary structures, forming domains and motifs that are essential for ribosome function. The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as a blueprint for proteins. When mRNA is no longer needed, it must be degraded. Director Elena ...

Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines ... The scientists don’t know the CAT tails' function yet, but they have some ideas. They have evidence that suggests that CAT tails may trigger a stress ...

A new study conducted by SISSA's Laboratory of Cerebral Cortex Development and recently published in BMC Biology has led to a ...

function, and regulation. The production of ribosomes begins when RNA polymerase I (Pol I) synthesizes pre-rRNA, a precursor transcript of the mature ribosomal RNA (rRNA) that later becomes part of ...

This interesting study focuses on a previously reported positive correlation between translational efficiency and protein noise. This is unexpected as typically noise is inversely related to ...

In starved fission yeast, ribosomes adopt an unusual upside-down orientation while attaching themselves to mitochondria. This behavior, which promotes survival through the suspension of protein ...

Scientists study the functions of microglia by transcriptomics ... RiboTag uses a special way of labeling ribosomes of microglia and subsequently enriching tagged ribosomes, which allows ...

Doctors have long believed the cancer drug 5-fluorouracil works by damaging the building blocks of DNA, but researchers have now found that in certain cancers, it kills cells by interfering with RNA ...
