Bacterial ribosomes are central to protein synthesis, and their regulation is vital for adaptation to environmental stresses. Under conditions such as nutrient deprivation, cold shock or hypoxia, ...

The ribosome serves as the essential molecular machine that translates genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) into functional proteins. Comprised of two distinct subunits, the ribosome ...

A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

A previously unknown mechanism that makes it possible for aggressive so-called triple-negative breast cancer to fine-tune its ...

These spots are socRNAs being translated by ribosomes in a cell. They get brighter over time, showing active translation. The complex, which includes the socRNA and ribosome, is attached to the plasma ...

A team of researchers used a new technique, called high-resolution template matching, or HRTM, to uncover in unprecedented detail the movement of ribosomes -- the molecular structures that synthesize ...

Proteins of all sizes and shapes do most of the work in living cells, and the DNA sequences in genes spell out the instructions for making those proteins. The crucial job of reading the genetic ...

Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

During translation, multiple ribosomes travel along the nucleic acid chain to build polypeptides that become functional proteins. Occasionally, these molecular decoders pause on the mRNA, either ...
