Proximity-specific translatome profiling

In course

Description

This lecture delves into the spatial regulation of ribosomal protein translation in eukaryotes, focusing on the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in protein synthesis and trafficking. It covers the architecture of a mammalian cell, the differences in transcription and translation between bacteria and animal cells, and the dynamics of translation using polysome/ribosome profiling. The lecture also explores the emerging role of the ER as a hub for protein synthesis, detailing the processes of protein targeting and sorting. Advanced concepts such as polysome fractionation, biotin-streptavidin binding, and experimental designs for analyzing translation dynamics are discussed, providing insights into the critical evaluation of research manuscripts.

Example-based machine translation

Example-based machine translation (EBMT) is a method of machine translation often characterized by its use of a bilingual corpus with parallel texts as its main knowledge base at run-time. It is essentially a translation by analogy and can be viewed as an implementation of a case-based reasoning approach to machine learning. At the foundation of example-based machine translation is the idea of translation by analogy.

Ribosome

Ribosomes (ˈraɪbəˌsoʊm,_-boʊ-) are macromolecular machines, found within all cells, that perform biological protein synthesis (mRNA translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by the codons of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to form polypeptide chains. Ribosomes consist of two major components: the small and large ribosomal subunits. Each subunit consists of one or more ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and many ribosomal proteins (RPs or r-proteins).

Google Translate

Google Translate is a multilingual neural machine translation service developed by Google to translate text, documents and websites from one language into another. It offers a website interface, a mobile app for Android and iOS, as well as an API that helps developers build browser extensions and software applications. As of 2022, Google Translate supports languages at various levels; it claimed over 500 million total users , with more than 100 billion words translated daily, after the company stated in May 2013 that it served over 200 million people daily.

Protein targeting

Protein targeting or protein sorting is the biological mechanism by which proteins are transported to their appropriate destinations within or outside the cell. Proteins can be targeted to the inner space of an organelle, different intracellular membranes, the plasma membrane, or to the exterior of the cell via secretion. Information contained in the protein itself directs this delivery process. Correct sorting is crucial for the cell; errors or dysfunction in sorting have been linked to multiple diseases.

Translation criticism

Translation criticism is the systematic study, evaluation, and interpretation of different aspects of translated works. It is an interdisciplinary academic field closely related to literary criticism and translation theory. It includes marking of student translations, and reviews of published translations. The concept itself of "translation criticism" has the following meanings: Quality assessment of the target text, especially of its semantic and pragmatic equivalence regarding the source text.
