Hebrew University researchers discovered another role for a central enzyme in the human body - regulating the actions of genes in the body. The discovery is an important advance in the effort to control and cure many diseases, including AIDS and various types of cancer.

The intermediary enzyme Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is one of the central proteins in the cell, and has a crucial role in translating the information found in RNA into amino acids that make up the proteins.

Doctoral students Nurit Yanai-Cohen and Irit Karmi-Levi from the Institute of Medical Sciences - Israel-Canada at the Hebrew University discovered that the enzyme takes part in a chain of events that results in the release of an inhibitor that prevents the transcription of genes. The AIDS virus uses this enzyme during its replication process and high levels of the molecule have been diagnosed in various types of cancer such as breast cancer. However, the individual roles of the protein in these diseases have not yet been discovered.

In the study, published in the journal Molecular Cell, the researchers emphasize that the ability to understand the regulatory role of the molecule may contribute significantly to global research on "turning off" and "turning on" genes that are active in these diseases.

The research was conducted under the guidance of Prof. Ehud Razin and under the guidance of Dr. Hovav Nehushtan from the Faculty of Medicine at the Hebrew University.

  1. Dear Lenorit, congratulations! We are very proud of you and believe in you that you will be able to break through and succeed in all your goals. Lovers and supporters: Jocelyn, Nimrod and Shiran, Idan, Sapir and Tomer (a good sign - Cohen - Ben Shabbat) 🙂

  2. Congratulations to Nurit. May you be successful my beautiful and smart one. I believe in you and your abilities since you were born I knew you would be something. We are proud of you the whole Cohen family and the Yanai family.

  3. To Mr. Skeptic, they are extraordinarily beautiful, it's hard not to compliment them on that 🙂

    And this is regardless of the important research they are engaged in.

    Good luck girls.

  4. Oish, if this is going to be another stupid fight of Ron against the whole world about everything but science then this will be the last time I read comments on this site... It used to make me laugh... Now it's getting really annoying to go through the messages in order to try to enrich the knowledge and not find Nothing but slander...

    And Lucci, your response not only did not relate to the conversation, it actually has nothing to do with anything... so what if they are beautiful??

  5. What beautiful scientists, both engaged in research and able to participate in a beauty queen competition, really a shame...

  6. Maybe not more relevant to the conversation until now, but who said there aren't beautiful women scientists?
    Very beautiful, and kudos for the research and hard work, keep it up!

  7. What's crazy about comment #16?

    These are registered facts according to the CDC.

    I'm not the one who hid this information.

    Attack the messenger?

  8. how do you say-
    There is a relationship between a person's amount of insanity and their religious belief.

  9. Example - swine flu in this case
     

    It is a fact that Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger
    began working in the mid-90's
    on reverse engineering the deadly 1918
    virus that killed untold millions of people.

    It is a fact that he assembled his
    "team" at the US Army Institute of
    Pathology in 1996 and officially began
    work on the "project" in 1997.

    It is a fact that in 1997, Taubenberger
    published a paper in the journal "Science"
    identifying that the 1918 killer virus
    was a "triple reassortant novel" virus
    containing genetic segments of
    Human, Swine, and Avian origin.
    Taubenberger completed his "project" in 2003
    , then begins working for the NIH
    in the area of ​​vaccine development.

    In 2005, a Wisconsin boy was diagnosed
    with the same triple virus
    now declared a pandemic by the WHO
    in 2009, SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING A FLU SHOT.

    It is also a fact that the world's largest
    multinational pharmaceutical corporation, Novartis,
    applied for a patent for a vaccine
    designed to address a "reverse-engineered novel
    triple reassortant pandemic virus” on November 4, 2005

    - just a week before the Wisconsin boy
    receives his flu vaccine - and a month before
    the boy develops the first case of "triple" virus.

    This patent was granted in February of 2009
    , then a very short month later, the same "triple-virus"
    is publicized worldwide as a terribly deadly Mexican outbreak. Within days, Novartis receives billions of dollars in vaccine contracts from panicked nations.

    Fact:: the "novel swine flu" has
    an extremely low mortality rate
    compared with "seasonal flu".
    who.int/csr/don/2009_05_26/en/index.html
    In fact, the CDC and the WHO have
    quit listing the cases and the fatalities,
    quite possibly because of this fact.

    They may be concerned that people will begin to ask:
    "This doesn't appear to be that deadly,
    why all the hysteria calling for a headlong
    rush to implement mass vaccination in our schools
    and in pregnant women?” The same people would
    likely then ask in the next breath:
    "Could it be possible that the vaccine
    can likely be many times more
    dangerous than the disease itself??”

    Fact: I have shown that the CDC and the WHO have misled America as to the history and origins of the "Triple Virus", so why should we believe their projections about the coming waves of death unless vaccines are pushed?

    An analysis of the "swine flu" genome sequence
    by Alexander S Jones NIH Whistleblower
    indicates that only 5% of the "Novel Swine"
    (pandemic) influenza A RNA sequences
    (swine flu combined with avian flu viruses
    identified in the "pandemic" 2009 virus)
    share no known homology in any public databases
    (in addition to the avian/swine hybrid
    nature of both these critical genes)

    and so a laboratory origin for this virus
    is the only logical conclusion.

    (95% if the sequences are readily available
    to microbiologists working in
    Department of Defense weapons labs
    – i.e. Ft. Detrick, and can be "spliced"
    together to form a near-perfect match
    to a previously identified viral pathogen

  10. The World Health Organization is a liar and works for the elite
    And I will not declare such a sentence without solid proof

  11. How does the World Health Organization, which is supposed to protect its health, prefer that it be owned only to reduce the population?
    There are more humane ways to reduce the population, for example convincing the Vatican to allow its believers to use contraception.

  12. Billy:
    I'm listening to it right now.
    It seems to me like a religious preacher of the first rank.
    The claim, of course, is silly.
    If he knows how to make a cure for AIDS and if he is so interested in saving Africans from the clutches of American greed - then nothing prevents him from simply packing his things, flying to Africa, and implementing his invention there.
    Instead, he prefers to work in cinema.

  13. Ron, I carefully read the attached link (Michael, read it too, you might understand more than I do) and I don't understand something if the above treatment does help, why isn't a private pharmaceutical company buying the patent and implementing it? To be honest, the whole thing seems somewhat strange to me

  14. Besides the fact that the whole world is always against you, explain logically why in your opinion they don't want the AIDS patients to get well, who has an interest in that? Do you know how many economies sank because of the disease? It hits exactly at the age when a person is supposed to be the most productive, if someone finds a solution, he will be a billionaire.

  15. You don't get to the bottom of my reactive mind.

    There is a cure - but the establishment is not interested in releasing the patent and that's why all the commotion.

    Researching a cure is no problem - but don't come to a conclusion,

    There is no money in it.

    It's a scandal!

  16. Ron:
    There is already a cure for AIDS.
    There is already a plant that produces a certain substance that cures AIDS, but no one has yet discovered which plant it is and no one has yet tested it.
    If this claim sounds stupid to you, you should also understand what the problem is with the claim you made.
    Maybe there is a cure for AIDS, but in a situation where no one has yet tested it, then - as far as humans are concerned - it does not exist.
    You won't believe what nonsense has already been patented.

  17. There is already a cure for AIDS since 1997
    Dr. Boyd Graves discusses the origin of AIDS as well as the United States' patented cure, all based on official government documentation. Tell everyone you know that the cure for AIDS is US patent #5676977, and demand from your government officials that it begin clinical trials and widespread implementation immediately.
