Scientists at UCL have discovered a novel role played by ribosomes during the folding of new proteins in cells, described in ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

With a new mapping tool, Princeton engineers have revealed how a factory inside cells builds ribosomes, the machinery ...

Ribosomes are made of proteins. While the ribosomes in most human cells contain ribosomal protein L3 (RPL3), the ribosomes in cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscle cells contain ribosomal protein L3 ...

Scientists uncover key process in the manufacture of ribosomes and proteins Date: July 15, 2020 Source: University of Toronto Summary: Researchers have shown that an enzyme called RNA polymerase ...

Ribosomes, the protein-making machinery within cells, read the genetic code from a messenger RNA molecule to determine which amino acid to put next into the particular protein they are building.

When ribosomes go rogue Unusual variations in the cellular protein factory can skew development, help cancer spread, and more. But ribosome variety may also play biological roles, scientists say.

The team published their findings in Cell. "These findings make us change how we think about ribosomes." Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer cells need ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

As Tanenbaum and his team watched translation unfold, they found that at any given time, each socRNA was bound by one to four ribosomes and that these molecular machines exhibited varied translation ...
