Early steps in the biosynthesis of a protein include transcription of the gene and appropriate processing of the transcript leading to the production of mature messenger RNA (mRNA). We describe the mechanisms involved in translating mRNA to produce a polypeptide chain which has the amino acid ...
Hypoxia-Inducible Factors structural schematic. bHLH: basic helix-loop-helix; PAS: Per-Arnt-Sim (period circadian protein, aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator protein, single-minded protein) domain; ODDD: oxygen-dependent degradation domain; N-TAD: N-terminus transcriptional activation domain;...
Messenger RNA (mRNA) translation is tightly regulated to produce protein at the correct time and place with appropriate abundance. While many of the principles of translation regulation have been elucidated from ensemble biochemical measurements, understanding the mechanisms controlling where and when an ...
The oft-quoted "central dogma" of molecular biology isDNA to RNA to protein. Phrased even more succinctly, it might be puttranscription to translation.Transcriptionis the first definitive step toward protein synthesis and is one of the ongoing necessities of any cell. This process begins with the...
. Focused refinements on the 30S and 50S subunits improved the map quality and revealed well-resolved ribosomal RNA (rRNA) bases and ribosomal protein amino acid side chains (Fig.1band Extended Data Fig.2a–c). The high-resolution in-cell consensus maps allowed us to build de novo an ...
Figure 2. In prokaryotes, multiple RNA polymerases can transcribe a single bacterial gene while numerous ribosomes concurrently translate the mRNA transcripts into polypeptides. In this way, a specific protein can rapidly reach a high concentration in the bacterial cell. ...
In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription. During transcription, ...

protein complex (TRAP), a hetero-tetrameric transmembrane protein complex supporting the insertion of many signal peptides10,11, is a near-stoichiometric ER translocon component12. Low-resolution studies revealed interactions of TRAP with ribosomal RNA (rRNA) expansion segments and ribosomal subunit ...
