Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.6K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Ribosomes

68.8K
Ribosomes translate genetic information encoded by messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes. Cells that synthesize large quantities of protein—such as secretory cells in the human pancreas—can contain millions of ribosomes.
Ribosome Structure and Assembly
Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotes, rRNA is transcribed from genes in the nucleolus—a part of the nucleus that specializes in ribosome...

Riboswitches

8.4K
Riboswitches are non-coding mRNA domains that regulate the transcription and translation of downstream genes without the help of proteins. Riboswitches bind directly to a metabolite and can form unique stem-loop or hairpin structures in response to the amount of the metabolite present. They have two distinct regions – a metabolite-binding aptamer and an expression platform.
The aptamer has high specificity for a particular metabolite which allows riboswitches to specifically regulate...

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

3.8K
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce RiboXYZ, a database for organized access to ribosome structures.
  • To provide a standardized nomenclature for ribosomal components (proteins, RNA, ligands).
  • To offer specialized visualization and analysis tools for ribosome structures.

Main Methods:

  • Developed RiboXYZ database, synchronized with the Protein Data Bank (PDB).
  • Implemented standardized nomenclature for searching and comparing ribosomal components.
  • Integrated tools for visualization, ligand binding site identification, and 3D superimposition.

Main Results:

  • RiboXYZ provides up-to-date ribosome structure data with standardized nomenclature.
  • The database facilitates searching and comparison of ribosomal proteins, RNA, and ligands.
  • Specialized tools enable identification of ligand binding sites and 3D superimposition of components.

Conclusions:
