Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

A single scaffold protein is critical for the formation of part of the nucleolus, giving clues to how the nucleolus evolved around 300 million years ago.

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, according to Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

The nucleolus isolates the rDNA which encodes the RNA portions of the ribosomes, the protein-building machinery. The rDNA is one of the most fragile parts of the genome, ...

Eukaryotic cells have specialized structures that complete specific tasks - organelles. One of those organelles is the nucleolus, which is known to generate subunits of another organelle, the ribosome ...

A team led by Princeton University researchers has developed a tool to peer inside the nucleolus, the cellular compartment ...

In experiments with isolated proteins and cell cultures, the research team showed that the mutated HMGB1 protein, which has a positively charged end section, is improperly drawn toward the nucleolus.

Biologists discovered that a scaffolding protein called TCOF1 is responsible for the formation of a biomolecular condensate called the fibrillar center, which forms within the cell nucleolus.

Mind your Qs: PolyQ-binding protein 5 scaffolds the nucleolus. Everyone has that one friend who's the life of the party, bringing people together and keeping everyone connected.

Protein revealed as glue that holds biomolecules within the nucleolus. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2016 / 03 / 160301114112.htm ...

An essential component of living cells, the nucleolus underwent a major evolutionary shift around 300m years ago. Scientists have solved an age-old mystery in biology by discovering a protein ...
