Ribosomal Dysfunction Is a Common Pathomechanism in Different Forms of Trichothiodystrophy
Cells, 2023 Mutations in a broad variety of genes can provoke the severe childhood disorder trichothiodystrophy (TTD) that is classified as a DNA repair disease or a transcription syndrome of RNA polymerase II.

Role of the particle's stepping cycle in an asymmetric exclusion process: A model of mRNA translation [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 81, 051904 (2010), 2009 Messenger RNA translation is often studied by means of statistical-mechanical models based on the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP), which considers hopping particles (the ribosomes) on a lattice (the polynucleotide chain). In this work we extend this class of models and consider the two fundamental steps of the ribosome's biochemical cycle ...

Primary structure of rabbit 18S ribosomal RNA determined by direct RNA sequence analysis [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1984 The primary structure of rabbit 18S ribosomal RNA was determined by nucleotide sequence analysis of the RNA directly. The rabbit rRNA was specifically cleaved with T1 ribonuclease, as well as with E. coli RNase H using a Pst 1 DNA linker to generate a specific set of overlapping fragments spanning the entire length of the molecule.

An RNA-binding complex involved in ribosome biogenesis contains a protein with homology to tRNA CCA-adding enzyme. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 A multitude of proteins and small nucleolar RNAs transiently associate with eukaryotic ribosomal RNAs to direct their modification and processing and the assembly of ribosomal proteins. Utp22 and Rrp7, two interacting proteins with no recognizable domain,

Control of ribosome traffic by position-dependent choice of synonymous codons [PDF]
Phys. Biol. 10 (2013) 056011, 2013 Messenger RNA encodes a sequence of amino acids by using codons. For most amino acids there are multiple synonymous codons that can encode the amino acid. The translation speed can vary from one codon to another, thus there is room for changing the ribosome speed while keeping the amino acid sequence and hence the resulting protein.

Distribution of dwell times of a ribosome: effects of infidelity, kinetic proofreading and ribosome crowding [PDF]
Physical Biology, 8 (2011) 026005, 2010 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. The ribosome is a molecular motor that utilizes the template mRNA strand also as the track. Thus, in
