Ribosomes are composed of two subunits ... while in eukaryotes, it contains the 18S rRNA. These rRNAs are involved in mRNA binding and decoding. Large Subunit rRNAs: The large subunit in prokaryotes ...

The small subunit of the ribosome contains the mRNA binding channel, where the mRNA is threaded and positioned for decoding. The rRNA of the small subunit, particularly the 16S rRNA in prokaryotes and ...

and 18S rRNAs. Both the eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes contain multiple copies of these rRNA genes to be able to manufacture the large number of ribosomes required by a cell. Mature rRNAs are ...

Insights into protein synthesis processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes are crucial for advancements in genetics, ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published in Nature ...

Here, authors reveal that DDX10 plays a critical role in ribosome biogenesis by regulating 18S rRNA maturation, which is vital for the proliferation and maintenance of mESCs. Lim et al.

Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...

This important study by Bi and colleagues employed a clever genetics screen to uncover the role of the GidB rRNA methylase in translation fidelity, under certain conditions, in Mycobacterium smegmatis ...
