Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation ... sought to identify and characterize RAPs from Escherichia coli (E. coli) and examine the mechanisms ...

The Min protein system prevents abnormal cell division in bacteria, but is poorly understood. Researchers have uncovered how engineered e.coli bacteria control protein levels for maximum efficiency.

The genes lacZ, lacY and lacA are transcribed from a single promoter (P) that produces a single mRNA from which the three proteins are translated. The operon is regulated by Lac repressor, the ...

Researchers from Japan have identified and structurally characterized RAPs from Escherichia coli. Their discovery of a novel mini hairpin structure in a nascent peptide that induces translation ...
