Cryo-EM structure of wheat ribosome reveals unique features of the plant ribosomes.
Structure (London, England : 1993) 20240307 5
Plants being sessile organisms exhibit unique features in ribosomes, which might aid in rapid gene expression and regulation in response to varying environmental conditions. Here, we present high-resolution structures of the 60S and 80S ribosomes from wheat, a monocot staple crop plant (Triticum aestivum). While plant ribosomes have unique plant-specific rRNA modification (Cm1847) in the peptide exit tunnel (PET), the zinc-finger motif in eL34 is absent, and uL4 is extended, making an exclusive ...[more]
