Eukaryotic ribosomal proteins, mRNA binding, eubacteria, viral expression, eubacterial ribosomesAbstract
All organisms use a macromolecular device called the ribosome to synthesize proteins. The precise molecular intricacies, despite the significant advancements achieved in the research of the design and function of the bacterial ribosome, the mechanism that helps the eukaryotes' ribosomal and related components assemble the polypeptide properly and swiftly remains to be determined. More Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) and proteins are found in eukaryotic ribosomes than in eubacterial ribosomes. These extra components that add the ribosome's primary and secondary structures are conserved. The function of these parts should be clarified to illuminate the eukaryotic ribosome's techniques of translation and the molecular reasons behind their differences from eubacterial ribosomes. The research addresses a group of ribosomal proteins found in eukaryotes that do not have an equivalent in eubacteria. These proteins are crucial for messenger Ribonucleic Acid(mRNA) binding, nascent peptide folding, and ribosomal structure and function. It addresses how these proteins affect human illnesses and the expression of viruses and how they can serve as targets for antiviral medications.
