The ribosome returned
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the mid-1990s, insights obtained from electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography have transformed our understanding of how the most important ribozyme in the cell, the ribosome, catalyzes protein synthesis. This review provides a brief account of how this structural revolution came to pass, and the impact it has had on our understanding of how the ribosome decodes messenger RNAs.

Selection of single-chain variable fragments specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 antigen using ribosome display
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...
متن کاملOptimization of EnBase Fed-Batch Cultivation to Improve Soluble Fraction Ratio of α-Luffin Ribosome Inactivating Protein
Background: The increase of the protein expression via ribosomal manipulation is one of the suggested cellular mechanisms involved in EnBase fed-batch mode of cultivation. However, this system has not been implemented for cytotoxic proteins.Objectives: Here, the expression pattern of α-Luffin, a ribosome inactivation protein (RIP) with an innate toxicity,...
متن کاملMutant DnaK chaperones cause ribosome assembly defects in Escherichia coli.
To determine whether the biogenesis of ribosomes in Escherichia coli is the result of the self-assembly of their different constituents or involves the participation of additional factors, we have studied the influence of a chaperone, the product of the gene dnaK, on ribosome assembly in vivo. Using three thermosensitive (ts) mutants carrying the mutations dnaK756-ts, dnaK25-ts, and dnaK103-ts,...
متن کاملPatterns of growth and ribosome accumulation during 3-methylcholanthrene-induced epidermal hyperplasia.
The growth of mouse epidermis following a single topical application of 1, 2, or 4 /¿moles 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA) to the back of a mouse and the pattern of ribosome accumulation associated with this growth were quantitated. All doses of MCA produced cell hypertrophy, cell damage, and basal cell loss, and increased intercellular spacing within 3 days; the extent and duration of these effect...

Ribosomes are macromolecular machines that synthesize all cellular proteins. Ribosome biogenesis requires huge expenditure of cellular energy, and its dysregulation can result in a number of diseases including cancer. In vitro reconstitution experiments of bacterial ribosomal subunits have revealed principles underlying the assembly of ribosomes. These principles are also thought to guide the m...
