In contrast to their high abundance in eukaryotes, wd40 proteins were considered rare in prokaryotes 7, and it was not until 1996 that the. The term is sometimes used to refer only to protein translation but more often it refers to a multistep process in which cells follow a very systematic procedure that first transcribes dna into mrna and then translates.
