The replicase can not cope
with this task on its own, so it hijacks three «helpers» from the host's own proteins namely the
ribosomal protein S1, EF - Tu and EF - Ts, which all usually play important roles for the host cell's protein machine.

ribosomal DNA in normal and cancer cells of 162 patients from the eight projects.
Sogin began collecting and sifting through marine organisms — algae, fungi, sponges, jellyfish, anemones, mollusks — cutting them up and extracting DNA, adding enzymes, concentrating the DNA and sequencing the genes, reducing them to strips of code, comparing their
ribosomal RNA, and applying algorithms to measure their relationship
with one another and
with insects, worms, fish, birds, and mammals.
The blots were re-hybridized
with a probe for the S26

ribosomal metabolism.
Therefore, Teitell's group opted to further modify their constructs
with a 3 ′ - UTR mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) from human mitochondrial
ribosomal protein S12 — the same essential approach used to optimize the import of allotopically - expressed proteins by Dr. Marisol Corral - Debrinski, (3,4) and subsequently advanced for multiple additional ETS subunit proteins by Dr. Matthew O'Connor's group at the SENS Foundation Research Center (RC).
NOP2 and PPRC1 are involved in
