Can ribosomes have a role in RNA processing?

Sep 14, 2021 ... In a new study, scientists in the lab of Sebastian Klinge provide the most detailed view of how human small ribosomal subunits are put together. In addition to their central functions in translation, ribosomes can adopt inactive structures that are fully assembled yet devoid of mRNA. Ribosome biogenesis is a multistep process that starts in the nucleolus and culminates in the formation of functional ribosomes in the cell. mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain (and therefore a protein) at ribosomes, complex macromolecules… Oct 30, 2018 ... Nicotiana benthamiana is an important model plant for plant–microbe interaction studies. Here, we compared ribosome profiles and ... In eukaryotes, ribosomes get their orders for protein synthesis from the nucleus, where portions of DNA (genes) are transcribed to make messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Feb 26, 2024 ... Using electron microscopy, scientists have recently managed to produce a 3D model of a part of the human cell, the ribosome. Five years ago, Yale scientists made a splash with the long-sought atomic structure of the large subunit of the ribosome, the protein-synthesizing factory ... Jun 23, 2022 ... Defects in ribosome biogenesis, assembly, and function of individual ribosomes are termed ribosomopathies. This article explains more about ... Researchers determine major protein complexes that cause ribosome production. Scientists at UT Southwestern have discovered a four-protein complex that ...
