Messenger RNA abundance is determined by balancing transcription and RNA decay. mRNA stability can be rapidly modulated to alter the expression of specific genes thereby providing flexibility in ...

By virtue of complementary base- pairing, this action creates a new strand of mRNA that is organized in the 5' to 3' direction. As the RNA polymerase continues down the strand of DNA, more ...

Lots of it. Many ribosomes can be working on a single strand of mRNA at once. Protein synthesis isn't a slow process, either. A protein chain 400 amino acids long can be assembled in 20 seconds!

(Image: ttsz/iStock via Getty Images Plus) The Role of mRNA in Gene Expression Messenger RNA is an essential component of the gene expression process, which involves the conversion of genetic ...

To do this, this large protein-RNA complex, which is located in the cell nucleus, removes non-coding sections (introns) from ...

In this process, the enzyme RNA polymerase uses one strand of the DNA as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA strand. The resulting RNA molecule, typically mRNA, carries the genetic message ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

The most common mammalian mRNA modification currently known is the ... RNA hybrid and a displaced strand of DNA. R-loops play a vital role in regulating gene expression, DNA replication, and ...

First, pAurora2 releases the blockade of translation of the target gene on the mRNA strand, and second, the system suppresses ...
