Decoding and Recoding of mRNA Sequences by the Ribosome

Authors Rodnina MV Journal Annual Reviews of Biophysics Citation Annu. Rev. Biophys. 2023. 52:161–82. Abstract Faithful translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein is essential to maintain protein homeostasis in the cell. Spontaneous translation errors are very rare due to stringent selection of cognate aminoacyl transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and the

Influence of phosphorylation on intermediate filaments

Authors Kraxner J, Köster S Journal Biological Chemistry Citation Biol Chem. 2023 Apr 20. Abstract The cytoskeleton of eukaryotes consists of actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments (IF). IFs, in particular, are prone to pronounced phosphorylation, leading to additional charges on the affected amino acids. In recent years, a variety
