Once the single stranded siRNA (part of the RISC complex) binds to its target mRNA, it induces mRNA cleavage. The mRNA is now cut and recognized as abnormal by the cell. This causes degradation of the mRNA and in turn no translation of the mRNA into amino acids and then proteins. Thus ...

3b). The binding of a protein to these pre-rRNA sequences is further supported by the detection of specific mutations, which are introduced at nucleotides crosslinked to amino acids, in the sequence reads (Fig. 3c-f). Fig. 3 Has1, Mak5 and Spb4 crosslink to spatially distinct pre-rRNA...
Aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetases (AARSs) catalyze the ligation of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs; this canonical function of AARSs is indispensable for protein synthesis. Recent evidence indicates that AARSs possess additional biologic functions (noncanonical activities), including the regul...
it can lead to amino acid substitutions (called ‘recoding’) and enhance the diversity of the proteome. However, it is important to note that RNA editing is primarily carried out in noncoding regions of mRNAs or noncoding RNAs. The primary role of ADAR1 editing is to modify the structure...
(Holleyet al., 1965). This molecule turned out to be the elusive structure that Francis Crick proposed in his so-called "adapter hypothesis" of 1955—a structure that carried amino acids and arranged them in a certain order that corresponded to the sequence in thenucleic acidstrand. In 1968...
1. Four major nucleotide (CMP, AMP, GMP and UMP) materials obtained from alkali digests of a purified specimen of acid precipitable yeast RNA by ion exchange chromatography were found to contain a small but significant amount of peptides in bound form. The bound peptides are not confined to...
The types of RNA are mRNA, which is translated into proteins; rRNA, which is a structural component of ribosomes; and tRNA, which brings amino acids to the ribosome to be incorporated into protein. How is the E. coli RNA polymerase regulated so the appropriate levels of the three types ...
We used computational methods to infer a code for nucleotide recognition involving two amino acids in each repeat, and we validated this model by recoding a PPR protein to bind novel RNA sequences in vitro. Our results show that PPR tracts bind RNA via a modular recognition mechanism that ...
