A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...
Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or codons—specify one of many amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Multiple ...
Scientists reveal how a methyl tag on eEF1A speeds KRAS translation and fuels cancer drug resistance
St. Jude scientists showed that METTL13-driven methylation of the translation factor eEF1A selectively speeds decoding of ...
In HeLa cells, eRF3a degradation amplified aminoglycoside-induced readthrough at MECP2 nonsense mutations but did not trigger ...
Decoding of messenger RNA (mRNA) occurs during translation, the vital cellular process that builds proteins. Errors in this process are known to lead to cancer growth. Scientists at St. Jude ...
The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that’s added to a chain of amino acids ...
