In prokaryotes, the 23S subunit contains the peptidyl transferase between the A-site and the O-site of tRNA while in eukaryotes, it is found in the 28S subunit. Overview of the Protein Synthesis The ribosomal translation is initiated when the ribosomes recognize the starting point of mRNA, wh...

fusion protein using a cycloheximide (CHX) chase experiment in which protein synthesis was inhibited by CHX when the cells were transferred to dark conditions. The results showed that the half-life of the triple mutant was significantly lower than that of wild-type VVD under dark conditions, wher...
Zhu et al. used homologous mapping to translate PPI data from Arabidopsis, yeast, human, fruit fly, nematode, and Escherichia coli to rice, resulting in 76,585 predicted PPIs among 5049 proteins [32]. Finally, PPI data obtained from many species, including nine eukaryotes (rice, Arabidopsis,...
Besides those phosphatase homologs from the seven subfamily members common to the eukaryotes, apicomplexan parasites have three other serine/threonine protein phosphatases that are absent in mammals. One of these is a protein phosphatase with a kelch-repeat domain called PPKL, which is only found in...
and precision glycosylation can effectively enhance the use of glycoproteins in the medical industry [102]. Compared to eukaryotes,E. colidoes not have a natural mechanism for glycosylation of encoded proteins. Therefore, it can be used as a suitable chassis cell to develop bottom-up glycoengineerin...
The Sec translocon channel is a heterotrimeric complex composed of SecYEG, which operates in tandem with SecA, a RecA-like ATPase that moves peptides through the SecY channel in a process similar to Sec61 translocon in eukaryotes57. We predict interactions between the Sec translocon and ...
It has been proposed that the concentration of proteins in the cytoplasm maximizes the speed of important biochemical reactions. Here we have used Xenopus egg extracts, which can be diluted or concentrated to yield a range of cytoplasmic protein concentr
The protein contains an RNA binding domain similar to that found in members of the eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1) family, which are involved in terminal stop of protein synthesis [4]. The biological role of PELO was originally identified in D. melanogaster. In male mutants, mitosis ...
