Green tea is a beverage that is widely consumed worldwide and is believed to exert effects
on different diseases, including cancer. The major components of green tea are catechins, a …

▪ Abstract Aminoacyl-tRNAs are substrates for translation and are pivotal in determining how
the genetic code is interpreted as amino acids. The function of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis is …

Transcript-selective translational regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by
transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is directed by the hnRNP E1-containing TGF-β …

Endothelial cells can function differently in vitro and in vivo; however, the degree of
microenvironmental modulation in vivo remains unknown at the molecular level largely …

The phenomenon of protein synthesis has been modeled in terms of totally asymmetric
simple exclusion processes (TASEP) since 1968. In this article, we provide a tutorial of the …

In Xenopus development, the expression of several maternal mRNAs is regulated by
cytoplasmic polyadenylation. CPEB and maskin, two factors that control polyadenylation …

Decoding of UGA selenocysteine codons in eubacteria is mediated by the specialized
elongation factor SelB, which conveys the charged tRNA Sec to the A site of the ribosome …

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are effectors and regulators of posttranscriptional gene
regulation (PTGR). RBPs regulate stability, maturation, and turnover of all RNAs, often …

We have collected a set of 347 proteins that are found in eukaryotic cells but have no
significant homology to proteins in Archaea and Bacteria. We call these proteins eukaryotic …

Translation, the process of mRNA-encoded protein synthesis, requires a complex apparatus,
composed of the ribosome, tRNAs and additional protein factors, including aminoacyl tRNA …
