Translational Regulation in Nutrigenomics

Thematic Review Series: Nutrition and the Genome Translational Regulation in Nutrigenomics

The emergence of genome-wide analysis to interrogate cellular DNA, RNA, and protein content has revolutionized the study of the control network that mediates cellular homeostasis. Nutrigenomics addresses the effect of nutrients on gene expression, which provides a basis for understanding the biological activity of dietary components. Translation of mRNAs represents the last step of genetic flow...

Nutrigenomics: A New Approach to Food Regulation and Formulation

Nutrigenomics is the study of the effect of nutrition on gene expression which discusses how DNA is converted to mRNA and then converted mRNA to protein, and is the basis for understanding the biological activity of edible compounds. Nutritional manipulations and nutritional approaches are key tools to influence the performance and health of organisms. Today, it has been shown that better nutri...

Translational regulation in development

Controlling gene expression by regulating translation allows a cell to respond to environmental cues more quickly than de novo transcription permits. Translation of mRNAs transcribed during early oogenesis has long been known to be repressed to permit accumulation of mRNAs for use later in development. In addition to providing such a stockpile of mRNAs, translational regulation has recently bee...
