Ribosome-interacting Proteins

Ribosome-interacting proteins play a crucial role in the regulation and functionality of protein synthesis within the cell. These proteins associate with ribosomes, influencing the translation process and ensuring the accurate assembly of polypeptides. Ribosome-interacting proteins are involved in various stages of translation, from initiation to elongation and termination, and can affect ribosome stability and efficiency. Studying these interactions provides valuable insights into cellular responses to stress, the regulation of gene expression, and the mechanisms underlying diseases caused by translational deficiencies. Understanding ribosome-interacting proteins is essential for advancing therapeutic strategies targeting protein synthesis in diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders.
