#microRNAs slow translating #ribosomes to prevent protein #misfolding in eukaryotes
Hiroaki Sako, Tadashi Yamamoto and colleagues
The unusual presence of #miRNAs targeting protein-coding sequences is shown to influence ribosome speed, thereby allowing time for accurate #polypeptide folding during protein translation.

"This review aims to consolidate past and current studies investigating the complexity of the miRNA interactome to provide the reader with a mechanistic view of how miRNAs shape macrophage behavior."

Cephalopods like octopuses, squids and cuttlefish are highly intelligent animals with complex nervous systems. In “Science Advances”, a team led by Nikolaus Rajewsky of the Max Delbrück Center has now shown that their evolution is linked to a dramatic expansion of their microRNA repertoire.
