Stable Ribosome Binding to the Endoplasmic Reticulum Enables Compartment-specific Regulation of mRNA Translation
In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis is compartmentalized; mRNAs encoding secretory/membrane proteins are translated on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound ribosomes, whereas mRN...
Dissecting eukaryotic translation and its control by ribosome density mapping
Translation of an mRNA is generally divided into three stages: initiation, elongation and termination. The relative rates of these steps determine both the number and position o...
Inhibition of Translational Initiation by Let-7 MicroRNA in Human Cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ∼21-nucleotide-long RNA molecules regulating gene expression in multicellular eukaryotes. In metazoa, miRNAs act by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ u...
Ribosome Profiling Shows That miR-430 Reduces Translation Before Causing mRNA Decay in Zebrafish
Translation Block MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNA genes that are found in the genomes of most eukaryotes, where they play an important role in the regulation of gene...
Ensemble cryo-EM uncovers inchworm-like translocation of a viral IRES through the ribosome
Internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) mediate cap-independent translation of viral mRNAs. Using electron cryo-microscopy of a single specimen, we present five ribosome structure...
