releasing the cargo to the cytoplasm. Different receptors recognize different classes of proteins, tRNAs or U snRNPs. Although much less is known about mRNA export, a fundamentally different ...

My laboratory studies the regulatory and structural roles of mRNAs in the cytoplasm. Specifically, we investigate how 3′UTRs regulate protein functions in a manner that is independent of protein ...

mRNA transports the most valuable cellular information—the chemical blueprint for the production of proteins—from the nucleus ...

the mature mRNA is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis. Some RNA molecules, called ribozymes, possess catalytic activity and can catalyze ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details explaining how poxviruses manipulate host cells to enhance their ...

The mature mRNA is exported from the cell nucleus via nuclear pores to the cytoplasm of the cell for translation to occur. During translation, the mRNA is read by ribosomes which use the nucleotide ...
