A novel domain in translational GTPase BipA mediates interaction with the 70S ribosome and influences GTP hydrolysis.

8 Nov 2009 BipA is a universally conserved prokaryotic GTPase that exhibits differential ribosome association in response to stress-related events. It is a member of the translation factor family of GTPases along with EF-G and LepA. BipA has five domains. The ... Read more...

Translational regulation by the 3' untranslated region of the dengue type 2 virus genome.

30 Oct 2009 The role of the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of the dengue virus (DENV) genome during viral translation remains to be elucidated. We assessed the contribution of well-defined RNA elements in the 3'UTR of DENV-2 to viral translation using a ... Read more...

Keratins regulate protein biosynthesis through localization of GLUT1 and -3 upstream of AMP kinase and Raptor.

17 Oct 2009 Keratin intermediate filament proteins form cytoskeletal scaffolds in epithelia, the disruption of which affects cytoarchitecture, cell growth, survival, and organelle transport. However, owing to redundancy, the global function of keratins has not ... Read more...
