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 ...

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

With RNA-seq, the importance of removing unwanted, abundant ribosomal RNA prior to sequencing is often underestimated. Methods that allow researchers to focus on RNA species of interest help them ...

The smaller 40S subunit binds the messenger RNA that constitutes the protein’s genetic blueprint ... The Ribosome Quality Control Complex (RQC) recognizes and destroys incomplete proteins that ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. Transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are involved in the translation of mRNA ...

Previous studies showed that RNA alone could exhibit PTC activity. However, in the ribosomal structure, "tails" of several ...
