Abstract
While the central dogma of molecular biology describes how genetic information flows, gene expression is also affected by epigenetic and epitranscriptomic processes. A recent report by Rajan et al. demonstrates how pseudouridylation of a Leishmania ribosomal rRNA affects the expression of particular proteins: an example of epitranslatomic control.
期刊介绍:
For over 40 years, Trends in Biochemical Sciences (TIBS) has been a leading publication keeping readers informed about recent advances in all areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. Through monthly, peer-reviewed issues, TIBS covers a wide range of topics, from traditional subjects like protein structure and function to emerging areas in signaling and metabolism. Articles are curated by the Editor and authored by top researchers in their fields, with a focus on moving beyond simple literature summaries to providing novel insights and perspectives. Each issue primarily features concise and timely Reviews and Opinions, supplemented by shorter articles including Spotlights, Forums, and Technology of the Month, as well as impactful pieces like Science & Society and Scientific Life articles.
