(A) Suppressor tRNA readthrough strategy. Natural tRNAs with engineered anticodons are charged with canonical amino acids to enable readthrough of the premature termination codon (PTC). (B) Unnatural ...

During a call with Alltrna co-founder and CIO Theonie Anastassiadis and CEO Michelle C. Werner, I’m immediately called upon to dust off my Biology 101 notes to grasp the significance and scope of ...

Much of our early work focused on the MALAT1 locus, which is over-expressed in many human cancers and produces a long nuclear-retained noncoding RNA as well as a tRNA-like small RNA known as mascRNA, ...

A groundbreaking study has shed light on the critical role of a tRNA methylation enzyme, TRMT10A, in supporting brain function. The findings reveal how the absence of TRMT10A leads to a reduction in ...

Collaborative research by the University of Tokyo and RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research has led to the development of a new method for simultaneously synthesizing all transfer RNA (tRNA) ...

During protein synthesis, the genetic information stored in DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA then travels to the ribosome, where translation occurs. Here's how anticodons facilitate the ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

The various identities of cells, whether they are in the brain, heart, kidney, or any other tissue, are defined by the genes they expressed. In basic terms, the genes that are active in a cell are ...

Between 10 to 15% of all genetic diseases have the same underlying cause: a nonsense mutation. 1 This type of mutation results from a stop codon in the middle of a gene sequence, which terminates ...

A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency partially depends on the usage of a codon, or sequence of three nucleotides, that ...
