The document discusses two studies related to protein synthesis and cancer. The first study developed a new method to selectively silence genes encoding proteins to determine their function in tumor cells. The second study identified the protein components responsible for inserting membrane proteins, resolving a mechanism that was previously unknown. Understanding protein functions and interactions is important for gaining insights into the origins of cancer and developing prevention and treatment strategies.

4. INTRODUCTION The protein synthesis is of great importance to science today, so that these macromolecules are responsible for majority cellular functions, essential for stability of an living organism , and even the participation of their own production, as is the intervention of chaperones in the maintenance of proteins.

6. A investigators group discovered by observing cancer cells, which were present many RNA molecules and genes that were particularly hyperactive, it wanted to investigate whether this was related to cancer cell growth or to answer these unknowns scientists extracted (silence) the gene of interest in cells of living organisms and then look for any changes in metabolism, physiology or cell behavior and body in general, so find out whether certain cellular functions are lost.

7. Dr. Sven Diederichs and his team at the Institute of Pathology in the University of Heidelberg, With his team have developed a new method to silence genes selectively encoding pro-teins and therefore determine their function and how to modify the RNA by altering tumor cells. they have based their method on the use of zinc finger nucleases, protein molecules have been designed to cut DNA at precisely defined sites and there by facilitate the targeting and the cutting of the genes. This destroys the information of protein so that proteins can not be formed.

8. Molecular biologists comprise a signal sequence at the site where the gene was cut. This sequence causes the RNA transcript of the gene that breaks down at once so that is not available for all cellular functions. It is very likely that these genes play an important role in cancer development, it is no coincidence that they are so active especially in tumor cells.

9. STUDENT OBSERVATION : These studies are of great importance for understanding the origin of cancer and participation you have in this non-proteins coding genes, and the importance of knowing your role in the transcription of RNA, and the effect these latest provocations in of tumor cells by silencing these genes specifically.

11. The membrane protein chaperones not only prevent their aggregation, but also accompany you to your destination and assist in the insertion into the membrane. The molecular mechanism of how a given family of membrane proteins is directed and inserted into membranes has been solved by an international research team involving the Goethe University in Frankfurt. These proteins are anchored in the membrane through a single propeller and so called "tail anchored" (TA) protein.

12. The key to correct classification of proteins is a sequence of signals that are decoded by the chaperones. As soon as they - along with its protein - reaches its destination, the interaction with a specific receptor on the target membrane to initiate the inclusion makes the membrane. The protein components responsible for the insertion of proteins have recently been identified. this classification was not known until now. In this interdisciplinary study, were able to resolve the issue through various methods such as X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, and biochemical approaches and cell biology

13. Research studies showed that the protein called Get3 regulates the protein binding technical assistance in the cytosol and release into the membrane. The two receptor proteins and Get1 and Get2 aid in the insertion of the protein for technical assistance. Using overlay interfaces for interaction with the ATPase Get3. Interaction with its membrane receptor dimer Get3 slowly opens to allow insertion of TA proteins controlled.

14. In current science is important to know the action of the chaperone as a protein processing and as well it becomes a guide of the protein to its destination, and anchor to the cell membrane through a specific mechanism , leaving the door open for future research that deal with health, and future therapies. STUDENT OBSERVATION :

16. The certainty that the cancer originates, is an important way to provide prevention and treatment, and much more by making sure that eradicated the problem from its inception, it would be a contribution that would help the entire population.

17. Research on structural and metabolic functions of the proteins at the cellular level has concepts and hypotheses that may help solve some mysteries about disease and the mechanisms of action of treatments.

18. It is important today because the proteins are essential in the physiology of living organisms, and all cellular actions and any imbalance in these, cause disease. This is important for its regulation and biological protection provided by the chaperones.
