The human Pol I (hPol I) is located in the nucleolus and synthesizes 47S pre-ribosome RNA4. The 47S pre-ribosome RNA is further processed into mature 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which compose the RNA components of ribosomes together with 5S RNA synthesized by Pol ...

Translation selectivity and efficiency are influenced by many parameters. These include mRNAs’ abundance, sequences and modifications, availability of components involved in translation processes i.e., pools of ribosomes and specialized ribosomes, availability of amino acids and tRNAs, translation initiati...

Atypical transfer RNA's and their origin in neoplastic cells. Moreover, there are at least 8 soluble protein factors needed for the completion of the synthesis of a protein. Any or all of these numerous components could be a regulatory factor in protein synthesis. There are three different ....
Estradiol transiently increases the rate of peptide elongation on uterine ribosomes from ovariectomized mature rats during the first 2 h after hormone injection, suggesting the existence of direct or indirect estradiol receptor interaction with ribosomes. Characterization of estradiol-binding components on ...
PSRP1 induces conformational changes within ribosomal components that comprise several intersubunit bridges, including bridge B2a, thereby stabilizes the ribosome against dissociation. We find that the presence of PSRP1/pY lowers the binding of tRNA to the ribosome. Furthermore, similarly to tRNAs, PS...
Protein-coding regions of the resulting RNAs are translated by ribosomes within the mitochondrion. However, most mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the nucleus; they are made by cytoplasmic ribosomes and imported through specialized pores into mitochondria where they combine with those encoded by ...
Ribosomes are the protein-synthesizing machines of the cell. The active site for peptide-bond formation, the peptidyl-transferase centre (PTC), is located on the large ribosomal subunit1. During translation elongation, peptide-bond formation occurs when a peptidyl-tRNA is located at the P-site ...
Identifying the source of protein synthesis within the microsomal fraction required an extremely close look at that fraction's components. When the microsomal fraction was examined by electron microscopy both before and after treatment with RNAse, researchers noted that most of the RNA in the fraction...
