Scientists observe ribosomal cooperation that prevents pauses in protein synthesis, revealing new dynamics for cellular ...

The rRNA structures also provide binding sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall ... This discovery led to the concept of the ribosome as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule with ...

Thus, RNA molecules play numerous roles in both normal ... the nucleolus is the structure where rRNA processing and ribosomal assembly take place. Molecules called small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. rRNA molecules, along with ribosomal proteins, form the structure of the ribosomes and ...

The process by which this occurs is called transcription. RNA polymerase I 2 is responsible for synthesizing most ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcripts. These transcripts are produced within the nucleolus, ...

"Ribosomes are made of three protein-encrusted RNA strands that textbooks tell us are purely structural, but we show that ribosomal RNA once acted as the genes, mRNAs and tRNAs required to make ...

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...
