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.

Defects in ribosome biogenesis, assembly, and function of individual ribosomes are termed ribosomopathies. This article explains more about these tissue-specific phenotypic abnormalities that ...

But our results suggest that different types of ribosomes produce specific proteins,” says Anders H. Lund, professor at the Biotech Research and Innovation Center at the University of Copenhagen.

Ribosomes, the cell's dedicated molecular machines for protein synthesis, make all proteins in life and do so by piecing together one amino acid building block at a time.

Ribosomes have a specific pattern with 114 small chemical modifications. These modifications change during cell differentiation and, according to the researchers, may form a code that determines ...

Scientists suspected that this specific architecture was related to ribosome biogenesis, but how these layers formed and ...

Insights into the ribosome function from the structures of non-arrested ribosome–nascent chain complexes. Nature Chemistry, 2022; DOI: 10.1038/s41557-022-01073-1 ...

In starved fission yeast, ribosomes adopt an unusual upside-down orientation while attaching themselves to mitochondria. This behavior, which promotes survival through the suspension of protein ...

In the first study, Barna and colleagues reported their findings that ribosomes accumulate different types of proteins around their outer shells, and that these proteins are associated with each ...

This is a ribosome, its different parts depicted in different colours. Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to ...

Humans vs. Bacteria: Differences in ribosome decoding revealed Date: April 5, 2023 Source: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Summary: Scientists have found that human ribosomes decode mRNA ...
