Sentences with phrase «producing ribosomes»

The mRNA is the vital link: the «courier» that picks up the protein - making instructions from DNA and delivers them to the protein - producing ribosomes.

Allan Jacobson, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and co-founder of PTC Therapeutics, the company that developed ataluren, and David Bedwell, Ph.D., professor of the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, have sought to understand precisely how ataluren allows the ribosome, the machinery of cellular protein synthesis, to skip over these inserted stop signs and produce proteins that have normal or near - normal function.

Proteins are produced by ribosomes, and misfolding can occur if they stall while decoding a damaged template.

Now, John Chaput and his colleagues at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute have produced the first genome - wide investigation of cap - independent translation, identifying thousands of mRNA sequences that act as Translation Enhancing Elements (TEEs), which are RNA sequences upstream of the coding region that help recruit the ribosome to the translation start site.

The cellular protein factories, the ribosomes, read these information carriers — the mRNAs — based on the genetic code and produce the corresponding proteins.

First, it stopped ribosomes from producing proteins, which slowed down the growth of the tumor.
