Maturation of the ribosome is a complex operation. Work now shows that the 90S precursor of the small 40S subunit undergoes a 'molting' process, during which it progressively discards its outermost ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Chloroplast ribosomes, which originated from cyanobacteria, comprise a large subunit (50S) and a small subunit (30S) containing ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and various ribosomal proteins. Genes for many ...

Researchers reveal how cells regenerate protein factories at endoplasmic reticulum. Researchers at LMU and Stanford University reveal how cells regenerate protein factories at endoplasmic reticulum.

Defects in ribosome biogenesis, assembly, and function of individual ribosomes are termed ribosomopathies. They are characterized by tissue-specific phenotypic abnormalities that consequently increase ...

Maturation of the ribosome is a complex operation. Work by an Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich team now shows that the 90S precursor of the small 40S subunit undergoes a 'molting' ...
