  2. 1. Adaptive Evolution of the Bacterial Translation Machinery

    Author : Arindam De Tarafder; Suparna Sanyal; Michael Y. Pavlov; Ruben L. Jr. Gonzalez; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ribosome; Translation; Translation machinery; Elongation; Evolution; RNA world; Cold bacteria; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The process of protein synthesis via translation is of paramount importance for the existence of life on Earth. The bacterial translation machinery has embraced more than 3.5 billion years of molecular evolution to adapt and function efficiently under the provided physiological conditions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ribosomal proteins L5, L15 and elongation factor 2, three vital components of the translation machinery : Functional features of RPL5, RPL15 and EF2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae studied in vivo

    Author : Hossein Moradi; Roger Karlsson; Odd Nygård; Anders Liljas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ribosome; Ribosomal protein; Elongation factor; Translation; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Protein synthesis is an essential, energy consuming and tightly regulated process in all living cells. A central core of the cellular protein-factory is a macromolecule called ribosome. Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and proteins (RPs). Additional components such as elongation factors (EFs) also contribute to this process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cryo-EM Studies of Macromolecular Complexes from Photosynthetic Organisms

    Author : Annemarie Perez Boerema; Alexey Amunts; Mei Li; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cryo-EM; membrane proteins; photosynthesis; translation; chloroplast; ribosome; photosystem I; protein structure; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria convert light energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis, fueling the planet and making life as we know it possible. Photosystem I (PSI) is one of the main photosynthetic complexes, responsible for this process. READ MORE

  6. 4. RNA modifications and post-transcriptional control in cancer and stem cells

    Author : Giulia Beneventi; Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA modifications; Pseudouridine; 2’-O-methylation; Splicing; Translation; non-coding RNAs; Cancer; Stem cells; Differentiation; Stress response;

    Abstract : Splicing and translation are two of the key steps of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Their tight regulation is essential for development, whereas their deregulation is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Nevertheless, many of the molecular mechanisms controlling these processes are still unknown. READ MORE

  7. 5. Organization of mitochondrial gene expression in yeast : Specific features of organellar protein synthesis

    Author : Kirsten Kehrein; Martin Ott; Thomas A Fox; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mitochondria; translation; bc1 complex; ribosome; gene expression; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Mitochondria contain their own genetic system, encoding key subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system. These subunits are expressed by an organelle-specific gene expression machinery. READ MORE
