Peptidyl tRNA Hydrolase Is Required for Robust Prolyl-tRNA Turnover in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
mBio, 2023 Enzymes involved in rescuing stalled ribosomes and recycling translation machinery are ubiquitous in bacteria and required for growth. Peptidyl tRNA drop-off is a type of abortive translation that results in the release of a truncated peptide that is ...

Computational and Functional Analysis of Structural Features in the ZAKα Kinase
Cells, 2023 The kinase ZAKα acts as the proximal sensor of translational impairment and ribotoxic stress, which results in the activation of the MAP kinases p38 and JNK. Despite recent insights into the functions and binding partners of individual protein domains in

Mutations in RPS19 may affect ribosome function and biogenesis in Diamond Blackfan anemia
FEBS Open Bio, 2022 Ribosomes, the cellular organelles translating the genetic code to proteins, are assemblies of RNA chains and many proteins (RPs) arranged in precise fine‐tuned interwoven structures.

Lessons in aging from Myc knockout mouse models
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Despite MYC being among the most intensively studied oncogenes, its role in normal development has not been determined as Myc−/− mice do not survival beyond mid-gestation.

Liver X Receptor β Related to Tumor Progression and Ribosome Gene Expression in Papillary Thyroid Cancer [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 Background Intracellular lipid deposition has been reported in thyroid glands in obese animal and human. To understand the regulatory mechanism of lipid metabolism in thyroid cancer, we investigated the expression status of liver X receptor (LXR) and ...

The Effects of Deregulated Ribosomal Biogenesis in Cancer
Biomolecules, 2023 Ribosomes are macromolecular ribonucleoprotein complexes assembled from RNA and proteins. Functional ribosomes arise from the nucleolus, require ribosomal RNA processing and the coordinated assembly of ribosomal proteins (RPs), and are frequently ...
