Cancer cells rely on mitochondria for their bioenergetic supply and macromolecule synthesis. Central to mitochondrial function is the regulation of mitochondrial protein synthesis, which primarily ...

Biomolecular condensates are found throughout a diversity of eukaryotic cell types and cellular compartments, playing roles in various cellular functions. A given protein generally forms functionally ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

Atlanta—ACS Spring 2026, a meeting of the American Chemical Society, began with a flurry of talks early Sunday morning. During a session hosted by the Division of Biochemistry and Chemical Biology ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), reports a new study from the Institute of Science, Tokyo, Japan. Using ...

Cancer cells are metabolic opportunists, bending every pathway to fuel unchecked growth. Now UCLA scientists show that a single protein—Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-Binding Protein 3 ...

Aging selectively impairs the production of crucial DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, which contributes to hallmarks of aging in the brains of killifish, according to a new study. The findings advance ...
