Although the importance of cell growth for cell-cycle progression has been recognized for thirty years, the molecular basis of this relationship is poorly understood. However, researchers have ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

Chaperones support protein folding in different cellular compartments and some chaperones associate with ribosomes to help fold newly synthesized proteins. Two studies by Koplin et al. and ...
