Origin of the Genetic Code Is Found at the Transition between a Thioester World of Peptides and the Phosphoester World of Polynucleotides

open access: yesLife, 2019
The early metabolism arising in a Thioester world gave rise to amino acids and their simple peptides. The catalytic activity of these early simple peptides became instrumental in the transition from Thioester World to a Phosphate World.

Mechanism of ribosome stalling during translation of a poly(A) tail

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2019
Faulty or damaged messenger RNAs are detected by the cell when translating ribosomes stall during elongation and trigger pathways of mRNA decay, nascent protein degradation and ribosome recycling.

Deoxynivalenol-Induced Proinflammatory Gene Expression: Mechanisms and Pathological Sequelae

open access: yesToxins, 2010
The trichothecene mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) is commonly encountered in human cereal foods throughout the world as a result of infestation of grains in the field and in storage by the fungus Fusarium.

Translation with frameshifting of ribosome along mRNA transcript [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Translation is an important process for prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to produce necessary proteins for cell growth. Numerious experiments have been performed to explore the translational properties. Diverse models have also been developed to determine the biochemical mechanism of translation. However, to simplify the majority of the existing models,

Full-length prepro-alpha-factor can be translocated across the mammalian microsomal membrane only if translation has not terminated. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
We have previously shown that fully synthesized prepro-alpha-factor (pp alpha F), the precursor for the yeast pheromone alpha-factor, can be translocated posttranslationally across yeast rough microsomal (RM) membranes from a soluble, ribosome-free pool.

Protein synthesis rates and ribosome occupancies reveal determinants of translation elongation rates

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Although sequencing of ribosome footprints has uncovered aspects of mRNA translation, the determinants of ribosome flux remain incompletely understood.

Thermodynamic and kinetic insights into stop codon recognition by release factor 1. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Stop codon recognition is a crucial event during translation termination and is performed by class I release factors (RF1 and RF2 in bacterial cells). Recent crystal structures showed that stop codon recognition is achieved mainly through a network of ...

Structural characterization of ribosome recruitment and translocation by type IV IRES

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Viral mRNA sequences with a type IV IRES are able to initiate translation without any host initiation factors. Initial recruitment of the small ribosomal subunit as well as two translocation steps before the first peptidyl transfer are essential for the ...
