This cytoplasmic localization was more prominent with B.1 and Alpha variants than with the Beta variant. However, METTL14 localization in the nucleus was mostly unaffected during infection. The team ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers reported severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) spike (S) protein and S messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into proteins in the cytoplasm of cells. But rather than being a uniform “soup,” the cytoplasm is divided into multiple distinct compartments or regions. Each region ...

Asymmetric messenger RNA (mRNA) localization facilitates efficient translation in cells such as neurons and fibroblasts. However, the extent and importance of mRNA polarization in epithelial tissues ...

Many plant mRNAs move from cell to cell or long distance to execute non-cell-autonomous functions. These mobile mRNAs traffic through the phloem to regulate many developmental processes, but despite ...

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines work by instructing a small number of a person’s cells to make specific proteins. In the case of the approved mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, the cells make spike protein ...

mRNA transports the most valuable cellular information - the chemical blueprint for the production of proteins - from the nucleus into the cytoplasm. However, as soon as mRNA has delivered its message ...

New findings provide details about the hidden organization of the cytoplasm, showing it makes a big difference where in that cellular broth that messenger RNA (mRNA) get translated into proteins. The ...
