Role of Ribosomal Expansion Segment in Translation Fidelity via N-terminal Protein Processing
A group of researchers located in the USA and Japan, led by Dr. Kotaro Fujii at the University of Florida, describe the role of the tentacle-like mysterious ribosomal structure, expanded across evolution for increased accuracy in ribosomal decoding during the emergence of eukaryotic protein synthesis machinery and corresponding ribosomal assemblages.
