Nuclear-encoded regulatory proteins control mitochondrial translation. A few, however, are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and are produced by the mitochondrial translation machinery.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factors in trypanosomatids display a fascinating divergence from those in higher eukaryotes. Foundational research has revealed that these parasites possess multiple ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Initiation factors IF2 in bacteria and eIF2 in eukaryotes are GTPases that bind Met-tRNAMet i to the small ribosomal subunit. eIF5B, the ...

It is unlikely that Shakespeare was thinking of ribosomes when he warned against hastiness. But it turns out, for ribosomes too, “wisely and slow” does not really cut it as they go about their ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis. This is an ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...
