RNA-protein interactions are essential for various biological processes, including gene expression and regulation. These interactions occur when proteins bind to specific RNA molecules, influencing their stability, localization, and translation into proteins. This binding can affect how genes are expressed and how cells respond to different signals. One key example of RNA-protein interactions is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis. Ribosomes read messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences and translate them into proteins, with various proteins assisting in this process. Additionally, RNA-binding proteins play crucial roles in splicing, transport, and degradation of RNA, highlighting the importance of these interactions in cellular function.
