The translation of mRNA begins with the formation of a complex on the mRNA (Figure 4). First, three initiation factor proteins (known as IF1, IF2, and IF3) bind to the small subunit of the ribosome.

In prokaryotic cells, transcription (DNA to mRNA) and translation (mRNA to protein) are so closely linked that translation usually begins before transcription is complete.

The mRNA that is created in the process of transcription comprises a sequence of nucleotides. A set of three-letter combinations of nucleotides is called a codon.Codons can either encode a specific ...

Also, the mRNA retention caused by SARS-CoV-2 was similar to the retention affected by ORF6 alone, which inhibited the export of mRNA species that caused transcription and immune regulation.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as a blueprint for proteins. When mRNA is no longer needed, it must be degraded. Director Elena Conti and her team at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in ...

The eGFP mRNA size profile revealed a major peak (77%) that was within 5.0% of the predicted length [1,153 nucleotide (nt)-long], as well as a varied spectrum of smaller, fragmented mRNAs.

Research led by Duke University, Durham, has discovered a situation-dependent traffic jam in mRNA translation caused by RNA hairpins leading to higher translation of upstream start codons (uAUGs).

A research team from The University of Osaka and the Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a class of mRNA medicines that ...

The concept of transcription and translation opposing each other to restrain tumor formation was so novel that Jana had to give this phenomenon a name: transcriptional-translational conflict. It thus ...
