Distribution of dwell times of a ribosome: effects of infidelity, kinetic proofreading and ribosome crowding

open access: yes, 2011
Ribosome is a molecular machine that polymerizes a protein where the sequence of the amino acid residues, the monomers of the protein, is dictated by the sequence of codons (triplets of nucleotides) on a messenger RNA (mRNA) that serves as the template ...

Engineering stochasticity in gene expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Stochastic fluctuations (noise) in gene expression can cause members of otherwise genetically identical populations to display drastically different phenotypes. An understanding of the sources of noise and the strategies cells employ to function reliably

The Organizing Principles of Eukaryotic Ribosome Recruitment.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biochemistry, 2019
The stage at which ribosomes are recruited to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is an elaborate and highly regulated phase of protein synthesis. Upon completion of this step, a ribosome is positioned at an appropriate initiation codon and primed to synthesize the ...

Ribosome collisions trigger cis-acting feedback inhibition of translation initiation

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Translation of aberrant mRNAs can cause ribosomes to stall, leading to collisions with trailing ribosomes. Collided ribosomes are specifically recognised by ZNF598 to initiate protein and mRNA quality control pathways.

Selective 40S Footprinting Reveals Cap-Tethered Ribosome Scanning in Human Cells.

open access: yesMolecules and Cells, 2020
Translation regulation occurs largely during the initiation phase. Here, we develop selective 40S footprinting to visualize initiating 40S ribosomes on endogenous mRNAs in vivo.

YoeB toxin is activated during thermal stress. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules are thought to mediate stress-responses by temporarily suppressing protein synthesis while cells redirect transcription to adapt to environmental change.

A binding site for the antibiotic GE81112 in the ribosomal mRNA channel

open access: yesmBio
The initiation phase is the rate-limiting step of protein synthesis (translation) and is finely regulated, making it an important drug target. In bacteria, initiation is guided by three initiation factors and involves positioning the start site on the ...

Tuning the ribosome: The influence of rRNA modification on eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis and function

open access: yesRNA Biology, 2016
rRNAs are extensively modified during their transcription and subsequent maturation in the nucleolus, nucleus and cytoplasm. RNA modifications, which are installed either by snoRNA-guided or by stand-alone enzymes, generally stabilize the structure of ...

The Prospects for Immigration Amendments [PDF]

open access: yes, 1956
Obg proteins are a family of P-loop GTPases, conserved from bacteria to human. The Obg protein in Escherichia coli (ObgE) has been implicated in many diverse cellular functions, with proposed molecular roles in two global processes, ribosome assembly and
