A new technique reveals ribosome cooperativity, providing new insights into protein production. Researchers from Marvin Tanenbaum’s group at the Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands) have ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.

The stalled ribosomes are then attacked by the ribosome ... As eIF5A is known to play a role in maintaining the function of mitochondria and its dysfunction has been implicated in the aging ...

2 Endosymbiotic events are believed to have led to the development of membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria. Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the ...

In flies defective for axonal transport of mitochondria, the authors report the upregulation of one subunit, the beta subunit, of the heterotrimeric eIF2 complex via mass spectroscopy proteome ...
