Diphthamide is a unique post‐translational modification found on a specific histidine residue of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2). This modification is critical for ensuring ...
The process of translation by ribosomes, which functions as a factory of protein synthesis, may be impeded by ‘ribosome arrest peptides’ (RAPs). However, underlying mechanisms remain elusive.
Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal cellular functions. The DNA blueprint is carefully read, transcribed, and ...
Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...
