In the latest #Yeast research article, Miguel A. Rocha, Gowda Bhavani and Jacob Fleischmann investigate the role of exonuclease-resistant ribosomal RNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, their relationship with nutritional status and the TOR signalling pathway.

18S and 25S Exonuclease Resistant Ribosomal RNA Molecules Are Produced by 5′‐End Modification During TOR Inhibition.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces exonuclease-resistant rRNA molecules upon TOR inhibition. This phenomenon occurs when cells enter the diauxic phase, upon addition of rapamycin to the culture, or wh...
