Protein splicing is a naturally occurring post‐translational process in which inteins, as self‐excising protein segments, precisely remove themselves from a host polypeptide and concomitantly ligate ...

Aided by two molecular control factors, the spliceosome rejects pre-mRNA that could be incorrectly spliced. While GPATCH1 detects the defective pre-mRNA, DHX35 removes it from the spliceosome, which ...

Scientists at Università Cattolica reported on the discovery of a genetic mechanism that pancreatic cancer cells employ to evade treatment, and which the investigators say could pave the way to the ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that a protein called hnRNPM helps protect the integrity of the process cells use to make proteins. hnRNPM ...

The protein complex cohesin is fundamental to the cell division process, as it holds sister chromatids tightly together in a ringlike structure before a cell physically splits. But now researchers at ...
