The life cycle of a protein

A protein’s life is anything but simple. Discover how transcription, translation, folding, modification, and degradation work together to preserve proteome integrity.
Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center show that two related enzymes, MNK1 and MNK2, act on the brain to regulate different behaviors.
Structurally, they look similar: MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells ...
A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.
Calorie restriction improves muscle insulin sensitivity in aging rats, but males and females achieve this through different molecular pathways. Credit: Stock Eating less may rewire aging muscles in ...
ABSTRACT: Vacuolar H⁺-ATPase (V-ATPase), encoded by the ATP6V gene family, is an evolutionarily conserved, a multisubunit proton pump that plays a fundamental role in maintaining intracellular pH ...
