Emerging evidence suggests that intron-detaining transcripts(IDTs)are a nucleus-detained and polyadenylated mRNA pool for cell to quickly and effectively respond to environmental stimuli and stress.However,the underly...

Brown adipose tissue(BAT)plays a key role in thermogenesis during acute cold exposure.However,it remains unclear how BAT is prepared to rapidly turn on thermogenic genes.Here,we show that damage-specific DNA binding p...
Ageing is accompanied by a decline in cellular proteostasis,which underlies many age-related protein misfolding diseases1,2.Yet,how ageing impairs proteostasis remains unclear.As nascent polypeptides represent a subst...

RNA polymerase transcriptional pausing represents a major checkpoint in transcription in bacteria and metazoans,but it is unknown whether this phenomenon occurs in plant organelles.Here,we report that transcriptional ...
A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is used to approximate solutions to a classical traffic flow PDE. This PDE is used to model the biological process of transcription; the process of transferring genetic i...
The journey of a newly synthesized polypeptide starts in the peptidyltransferase center of the ribosome, from where it traverses the exit tunnel. The interior of the ribosome exit tunnel is neither straight nor smooth...
