Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a highly conserved, non-coding RNA that plays crucial structural and catalytic roles in protein synthesis as a key component of ribosomes.
A new study reveals that blocking ribosomal RNA production rewires cancer cell behavior and could help treat genetically ...
The enzyme that makes RNA from a DNA template is altered to slow the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), the most abundant type of RNA within cells, when resources are scarce and the bacteria ...
Researchers identified significant differences in gut microbial composition between gestational diabetes and healthy ...
A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the ...
Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...
The researchers found that using a drug to inhibit RNA Polymerase 1 (Pol 1)—the enzyme responsible for human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription—triggered a unique stress response that rewires ...
Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...
The Rice team's new method, called RNA-addressable modification (RAM), bypasses these hurdles by using a synthetic catalytic RNA (cat-RNA) to "barcode" ribosomal RNA (rRNA) inside living cells.
Ribosomes are made of proteins and a special type of RNA molecule called ribosomal RNA (rRNA). rRNA molecules are the target of chemical modifications, affecting the ribosome's function. "95% of ...
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a common but overlooked group of guide RNA molecules that steer chemical modifications to cellular ribosomal RNA (rRNA) targets, like an usher showing someone to ...
