The ribosome, that protein-making machine, relies on other, smaller machines. For example, it works in concert with a mechanism that supplies amino-acid-carrying tRNAs, including tRNAs that require ...

The fruit fly lacks the tRNA nuclear export receptor Exportin-t, which only exports end-processed tRNAs to the cytoplasm to ensure the completion of the processing steps in the nucleus. The related ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the genetic instructions from messenger RNA, mRNA, and deliver the ...

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Researchers from Würzburg, Braunschweig, and the US identifiy Cas12a3 nuclease showing precise activity. Their study is ...
