Quantitative correlation between mRNA secondary structure around the region downstream of the initiation codon and translational efficiency in Escherichia coli.

13 Oct 2009 Translational efficiency in Escherichia coli is known to be strongly influenced by the secondary structure around the ribosome-binding site and the initiation codon in the translational-initiation region of the mRNA. Several quantitative studies ... Read more...

Enhanced SnapShot: Antibiotic inhibition of protein synthesis II.

30 Sep 2009 The translational apparatus is one of the major targets for antibiotics in the bacterial cell. Antibiotics predominantly interact with the functional centers of the ribosome, namely the messenger RNA (mRNA)-transfer RNA (tRNA) decoding region on the ... Read more...

4E-BP extends lifespan upon dietary restriction by enhancing mitochondrial activity in Drosophila.

30 Sep 2009 Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in multiple species. To examine the mechanisms of lifespan extension upon DR, we assayed genome-wide translational changes in Drosophila. A number of nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes, including those in ... Read more...
