The expression of many eukaryotic genes is regulated at the level of translation initiation. The first step in the initiation process is binding of the small ribosomal subunit (40S) to the mRNA.
a 30S small subunit and a 50S large subunit. The 30S subunit contains a 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecule, while the 50S subunit harbors 23S and 5S rRNA molecules. In contrast, eukaryotic cells ...
The exosome also participates in processing small nucleolar and small nuclear RNAs (snoRNAs, snRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs ... from enhancers. The eukaryotic nuclear RNA exosome includes an ...
Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and ... sites for ribosomal proteins, which help stabilize the overall structure of the ribosome. One of the most remarkable features of rRNA is its ...
