Multiple prebiotic metals mediate translation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Today, Mg2+ is an essential cofactor with diverse structural and functional roles in life's oldest macromolecular machine, the translation system. We tested whether ancient Earth conditions (low O2, high Fe2+, and high Mn2+) can revert the ribosome to a ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Ribosomes, Ribosomal Subunits and Ribosomal Proteins from Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1973
SUMMARY: Polyribosomes and ribosomes were isolated from vegetative Myxococcus xanthus FB and myxospores. The sedimentation coefficients of monoribosomes and ribosomal subunits were the same as those for equivalent particles from Escherichia coli. Conditions for the dissociation of the ribosomes and the unfolding of the subunits (in strong salt or very ...

The replicative lifespan-extending deletion of SGF73 results in altered ribosomal gene expression in yeast. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Sgf73, a core component of SAGA, is the yeast orthologue of ataxin-7, which undergoes CAG-polyglutamine repeat expansion leading to the human neurodegenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7).

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Pokeweed Antiviral Protein: Its Cytotoxicity Mechanism and Applications in Plant Disease Resistance

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) is a 29 kDa type I ribosome inactivating protein (RIP) found in pokeweed plants. Pokeweed produces different forms of PAP. This review focuses on the spring form of PAP isolated from Phytolacca americana leaves.

Antimicrobial Activity of Identified Ubiquitin-40S Ribosomal Protein S27a (RPS27A), Ubiquitin-like Protein Fubi, and Ribosomal Protein (S30FAU) in the Starry Flounder (Platichthys stellatus)

open access: yesFishes, 2023
Ubiquitin-40S ribosomal protein S27a (RPS27A), ubiquitin-like protein Fubi, and ribosomal protein (S30FAU) are ubiquitin-related proteins that are involved in the regulation of immune-related functions such as cell cycle, protein expression, and ...

N-TERMINAL PROCESSING OF RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN L27 IN STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The bacterial ribosome is essential to cell growth yet little is known about how its proteins attain their mature structures. Recent studies indicate that certain Staphlyococcus aureus bacteriophage protein sequences contain specific sites that may be ...

HCV IRES manipulates the ribosome to promote the switch from translation initiation to elongation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) drives noncanonical initiation of protein synthesis necessary for viral replication.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).
