Abstract:
Translation plays a crucial role in shaping the proteome during adaptation to various types of stress. A recent study by Gameiro and Struhl identified an inflammatory response which comprises coordination of transcriptional and translational programs, and which appears to be required for recovery from nutrient deprivation.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
