Cap recognition and maintaining the active conformation of Dcp2 decapping complex
The enzyme Dcp2 alongside with its activator (Dcp1) and set of coactivators (Edc1 and Edc2) create a complex, that recognizes and removes the 5′ eucaryotic cap from mRNA transcripts. Cap removal is a critical step of many cellular RNA decay pathways, hence its functioning is highly desired to be known and well-described. In their article, […]

New mechanism of protein synthesis regulation
A team of researchers led by Agnieszka Chacińska, in cooperation with scientists from the University of Freiburg, Germany, have discovered a new mechanism of protein synthesis regulation. It turns out that defective mitochondria release reactive oxygen species in order to slow down cellular protein synthesis, which allows the cell to recover faster and return to […]

Important discovery in cancer treatment
Team of Polish scientists including Prof. Jacek Jemielity (CeNT UW), Prof. Edward Darżynkiewicz (CeNT UW) and Joanna Kowalska, PhD (Faculty of Physics UW) has dealt with the instability of mRNA which significantly increased it’s productivity. This particular discovery can be used in treatment e.g. in patients with inherited genetic disorders. Especially in those waiting for regeneration of damaged tissue or an autotransplantation. It creates a […]
