The assembly of germ granules remains unknown, but recent attention to the role of RNA structure in membrane-less organelle assembly is changing our understanding of RNAs in the cell. Two studies now ...

Major advances over the past few decades have highlighted the complex regulation of RNA from transcription to nuclear export and from translation to decay. Despite the emerging cellular landscape of ...

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 ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

Cancer, a disease with global impact, is intricately linked to dysregulated gene expression, which is influenced by both genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, including RNA modifications. A ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

In recent decades, significant advances in science and technology have greatly enhanced understanding of the many biological molecules that contribute to life’s complexity. RNA is one such molecule ...
