Unraveling the Sugary Code: N-Glycosylation's Impact on Protein Conformation and its Link to Disease
In the intricate dance of cellular processes, a seemingly modest tweak known as N-glycosylation takes center stage. This post-translational modification endows proteins with a sophisticated sugar code, dictating their conformation, assembly, and, crucially, their roles in various diseases.
Transcription Readthrough in Non-Pathological Conditions
Readthrough transcription is linked to cellular stress responses but is often overlooked in normal physiological conditions. This study dives into its prevalence across human tissues, offering insights into its occurrence in non-pathological contexts.
