In eukaryotes, formation of short duplexes between the U3 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and the precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) at multiple sites is a prerequisite for three endonucleolytic cleavages that ...

Kenichi Yamaguchi, Susana Prieto, María Verónica Beligni, Paul A. Haynes, W. Hayes McDonald, John R. Yates, III and Stephen P. Mayfield To understand how chloroplast mRNAs are translated into ...

Maturation of the ribosome is a complex operation. Work by an Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich team now shows that the 90S precursor of the small 40S subunit undergoes a 'molting' ...

This image highlights two alternatives for the ribosome to be recruited to an mRNA that is still being synthesized by RNA polymerase (RNAP). RNAP (left, red) can directly deliver the mRNA to the entry ...

All cells need ribosomes to make the proteins necessary for life. These multi-component molecular machines build complex proteins by stitching building blocks together according to instructions ...

Three-dimensional images of human small ribosomal subunits offer the most detailed explanation for how the cell's protein-making machines are assembled. All cells need ribosomes to make the proteins ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

As the cell's protein factory, the ribosome is the only natural machine that manufactures its own parts. That is why understanding how the machine, itself, is made, could unlock the door to everything ...
