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 findings were ...
Learn the difference between the nucleus and the nucleolus from the video. Proteins are composed of strings of amino acids that are folded into a three-dimensional structure. A cell under stress will ...
Protein droplet formation is enhanced by improperly disordered proteins, possibly leading to many types of genetic disease.
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. Now, researchers ...
Researchers have determined that the protein nucleophosmin (NPM1) serves as glue that holds proteins and RNA together in the nucleolus and showed how NPM1's structure makes it ideal for the job ...
The activity of MDM2 is inhibited by a nucleolar protein, ARF, which may be through simply binding to MDM2, sequestering the MDM2 in the nucleolus or preventing the p53-MDM2 export.
