Specialized Yeast Ribosomes: A Customized Tool for Selective mRNA Translation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Evidence is now accumulating that sub-populations of ribosomes - so-called specialized ribosomes - can favour the translation of subsets of mRNAs. Here we use a large collection of diploid yeast strains, each deficient in one or other copy of the set of ...

Natural variability of Kozak sequences correlates with function in a zebrafish model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
In eukaryotes, targeting the small ribosomal subunit to the mRNA transcript requires a Kozak sequence at the translation initiation site. Despite the critical importance of the Kozak sequence to regulation of gene expression, there have been no ...

The roles and mechanisms of the m6A reader protein YTHDF1 in tumor biology and human diseases

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2021
YTHDF1 is the most versatile and powerful reader protein of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-modified RNA, and it can recognize both G(m6A)C and A(m6A)C RNAs as ligands without sequence selectivity. YTHDF1 regulates target gene expression by different mechanisms,

Endoplasmic reticulum : shape and function in stress translation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a very versatile organelle. Besides its major role as the gateway to the secretory pathway the ER is central to adaptation against abiotic and biotic stress.

Optimizing the Boosting Schedule of Subunit Vaccines Consisting of BCG and “Non-BCG” Antigens to Induce Long-Term Immune Memory

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Boosting Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) with subunit vaccine is expected to induce long-term protection against tuberculosis (TB). However, it is urgently needed to optimize the boosting schedule of subunit vaccines, which consists of antigens from or ...

Inhibition of HCV translation by disrupting the structure and interactions of the viral CRE and 3' X-tail [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A phylogenetically conserved RNA structure within the NS5B coding region of hepatitis C virus functions as a cis-replicating element (CRE). Integrity of this CRE, designated SL9266 (alternatively 5BSL3.2), is critical for genome replication. SL9266 forms

In Vivo Translatome Profiling in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Reveals a Role for SMN Protein in Ribosome Biology

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Summary: Genetic alterations impacting ubiquitously expressed proteins involved in RNA metabolism often result in neurodegenerative conditions, with increasing evidence suggesting that translation defects can contribute to disease.

A booster dose of Delta × Omicron hybrid mRNA vaccine produced broadly neutralizing antibody against Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2022
Background With the continuous emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants that feature increased transmission and immune escape, there is an urgent demand for a better vaccine design that will provide broader neutralizing efficacy.

New Perspectives on Reverse Translation: Brief History and Updates

open access: yesUniversitas Scientiarum, 2023
Since the 1950s, reverse translation has been an enigmatic part of Crick’s central dogma of molecular biology. It might be described as the possibility to back-translate information from proteins to nucleic acids (or codons).
