This section discusses disruptions in each of these three protein synthesis steps that have been implicated in PD pathophysiology, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Sign in to download hi-res image Fig. 1.

Features of protein synthesis. A Basic schematic of the three major steps in protein synthesis: initiation, elongation, and termination. B A single ribosome recruited to mRNA is referred to as a monosome; when multiple ribosomes are simultaneously recruited to mRNA, the structure is called a pol...
Fig. 2.The schematic steps of mitochondrial protein synthesis. The gene mutations as well as the associated clinical phenotypes are shown. (LS: Leigh syndrome). TRMUencodes mitochondria-specific tRNA-modifyingenzymethat is required for the 2-thio modification of 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine tR...
Optimizing the production of recombinant proteins is a problem of major industrial and pharmaceutical importance. Secretion of the protein by the host cell considerably simplifies downstream purification processes. However, for many proteins, this is als
“jumps” to new regions of functional sequence space through the introduction of many mutations, and further improvements to optimize specific functional and structural properties could then be achieved through smaller mutational steps, i.e., “walking” in sequence space. We believe this “jump ...
In this research, we were interested in answering a question whether subjecting a Yarrowia lipolytica strain overproducing a recombinant secretory protein (rs-Prot) to pre-optimized stress factors may enhance synthesis of the rs-Prot. Increased osmolarity (3 Osm kg−1) was the primary stress fa...
Finally, protein is essential for many biochemical reactions in the body that help to boost metabolism. For example, protein is necessary for the synthesis of enzymes involved in fat-burning and energy production. 3. Reduces hunger and cravings ...
Initial Protein Species level The identity of a protein species giving access to its initial amino acid sequence, which is observed directly after its protein synthesis (initial protein species level), is defined by the protein database accession number and sequence version number. In the nomenclatur...
The systems were energy minimized by the steepest descent algorithm for 200 steps with positional restraints and for additional 200 steps without restraints64. The system was then heated from 0 K to 310 K during a 200-ps constant-NVT MD simulation with harmonic position restraints on the ...
We also applied the method iteratively each time, using the output as the input sequence of the next iteration, to generate paths and a landscape of mutants with affinity-increasing monotonicity to understand SARS-CoV-2 Omicron’s spike evolution. With these steps taken for effective generation ...
