Do ribosomes form queues: tailORFs regulate translation
Ribosomes, the protein synthesising machines, keep translating until they reach a stop codon. Stop codons, unlike the previous mRNA codons before them do not code for amino acids ceasing protein production. Sometimes ribosomes misread stop codons and instead keep translating until the next one. What if a cell can exploit this read-through to aid in […]
