...studies how these three proteins??called KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC—respond to high and low temperature environments...
Shedding greater light on the human body’s first-line defense against the flu virus, the researchers found that the family of flu-fighting proteins??called the interferon-inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins??prevented or slowed down most virus particles from infecting human cells early in the lifecycle of the virus. The team reported its findings in an online journal on Thursday...
...Disease (MGH-MIND)—identified a novel mechanism of clearing disease-causing mutant huntingtin protein from brain cells by modifying the protein structure for autophagic degradation, a natural degradation process in cells. The introduction of a specific molecular fragment known as an acetyl group into the mutant proteins??a process also known as acetylation—is the key to triggering the destruction of excess huntingtin, according to the findings, which were published in the April 3 issue of Cell. “The novelty of our research is that it links acetylation to degradation, which...
Harvard researchers have successfully constructed an essential cellular component responsible for synthesizing proteins??a discovery that marks a major stride towards creating artificial life, according to the lead investigator behind the project...
...knew that such small RNAs would have such a critical role in regulating biological processes in animals and plants?” Lasker Foundation President Maria C. Freire said in a statement, adding that scientists had long believed that proteins??not RNAs—regulated gene activity in animal cells...
