A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

The PIF/Harbinger-derived ADF-IL protein recruits KAT2B to drive its nuclear translocation and local chromatin acetylation, ...

Another important discovery was an intricate RNA structure near the critical "frameshift site" in the viral genome. This frameshift site is essential for the virus to produce the correct ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers ...

Enzymes made of RNA are called "ribozymes." A group of researchers led by Professor Claudia Höbartner at the University of Würburg (JMU) has now uncovered the three-dimensional structure of a ...
