Certain diseases such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy are linked to genetic mutations that damage the important biological process of rearranging gene sequences in pre-messenger RNA, a ...
Precursor messenger RNA splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a macromolecular complex that assembles in a stepwise process. The spliceosome's dynamic nature suggests the potential for regulation ...
In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...
WHEN WE HUMANS got a first glimpse of our genome, we had good reason to question our biological complexity. Many scientists predicted we would possess some 100,000-plus genes, but sequencers finally ...
In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...
Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, a BIST Community centre, have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the most complex and intricate molecular ...
Intron excision from precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) in eukaryotes requires juxtaposition of reactive functionalities within the substrate at the heart of the spliceosome where the two chemical steps of ...
In multicellular organisms, the earliest products of transcription, called pre-mRNAs, undergo a molecular makeover before shipping out to the cytoplasm, where the modified mRNAs spell out the recipe ...
In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...
Certain diseases such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy are linked to genetic mutations that damage the important biological process of rearranging gene sequences in pre-messenger RNA, a ...
In a recent paper, a team of researchers explain how the molecular machine known as the spliceosome begins the process of rearranging gene sequences in RNA splicing. Certain diseases such as cystic ...
