Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

In this valuable study, Roiuk et al employed a combination of ribosome profiling and reporter assays to provide convincing evidence that eIF2A is not involved in translational regulation in cultured ...

Ribosomal translation is the process by which cells synthesize proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in messenger RNA. It is essential for life, yet it is an incredibly complex process ...

At this point, translation must be terminated, and the nascent protein must be released from the mRNA and ribosome. Termination of Translation There are three termination codons that are employed ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor ...

recognizes and destroys incomplete proteins that protrude from large ribosomal subunits that become detached from the rest of the ribosome when protein translation stalls. “We wanted to understand how ...

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of ...
