Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

The new study, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health and published June 18 in Cell Chemical Biology, showed ...
