A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...
In eukaryotic cells—found in animals, plants, and fungi—protein synthesis involves more than the simple assembly of amino acids in ribosomes. Nearly ...
(Image: Reprinted with permission by Wiley-VCH Verlag) The protein layer achieves its exceptional adhesion through a distinct molecular mechanism. The researchers discovered that when specific ...
Protein folding is the process by which proteins ... Thioredoxin 1 (TrxA) is an enzyme that reduces disulfide bonds in the bacterial cytosol. Here, the AUs show that TrxA can function as a ...
