  • The 40S subunit contains the decoding center which monitors the complementarity of tRNA and mRNA in protein translation. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the figure "Crystal Structure of the Eukaryotic 40S Ribosomal Subunit from T. thermophila", the ribosomal RNA core is represented as a grey tube and expansion segments are shown in red. (wikipedia.org)
  • Crystal structure of the eukaryotic 40S ribosomal subunit from T. thermophila 40S subunit viewed from the subunit interface side, PDB identifier 2XZM 40S subunit viewed from the solvent-exposed side, PDB identifier 2XZM The table "40S ribosomal proteins" shows the individual protein folds of the 40S subunit colored by conservation.

  • We demonstrated how the binding of a small T4 protein structurally remodels a portion of the specificity subunit (sigma) of RNA polymerase. (nih.gov)
  • For instance, proteins have been numbered according to their migration properties in gel electrophoresis experiments. (wikipedia.org)
  • Interestingly, s479 is not only encoded next to CRISPR-cas genes but the mature s479 contains a crRNA-like 5´ handle and experiments with Cas protein deletion strains indicate maturation by Cas6 and interaction with Cas proteins. (uni-stuttgart.de)
  • Results: We introduce CRISPRcasIdentifier, a new machine learning-based tool that combines regression and classification models for the prediction of potentially missing proteins in instances of CRISPR-Cas systems and the prediction of their respective subtypes. (uni-freiburg.de)
  • Chloroplast-located proteins which are encoded by the nuclear genome have to be imported from the cytosol into the organelle in a post-translational manner. (cipsm.de)
  • After the pathogenic bacterium Legionella pneumophila is phagocytosed, it injects more than 250 different proteins into the cytoplasm of host cells to evade lysosomal digestion and to replicate inside the host cell. (cipsm.de)
  • The vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (Vipp1) is an essential component for thylakoid biogenesis in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. (cipsm.de)
  • Eventually the bacterium gave up its ability to live on its own and transferred some of its genes to the nucleus of the host becoming a mitochondrion. (biologyjunction.com)
  • The mRNA binds in the cleft between the head and the body, and there are three binding sites for tRNA, the A-site, P-site and E-site (see article on protein translation for details). (wikipedia.org)
  • The chloroplast albino 3 (ALB3) protein appears to integrate the light harvesting chlorophyll-binding protein into thylakoid membranes using a pathway that is distinct from the chloroplast Sec translocation pathway. (tcdb.org)
  • Preexisting antivector immunity can severely compromise the ability of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium live vaccines to induce protective CD8 T-cell frequencies after type III secretion system-mediated heterologous protein translocation in orally immunized mice. (cipsm.de)
