Kinetic modeling predicts a stimulatory role for ribosome collisions at elongation stall sites in bacteria

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Ribosome stalling on mRNAs can decrease protein expression. To decipher ribosome kinetics at stall sites, we induced ribosome stalling at specific codons by starving the bacterium Escherichia coli for the cognate amino acid. We measured protein synthesis

Roles of the HEAT repeat proteins Utp10 and Utp20 in 40S ribosome maturation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A family of HEAT-repeat containing ribosome synthesis factors was previously identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report the detailed characterization of two of these factors, Utp10 and Utp20, which were initially identified as components of the ...

Ribosome profiling enhances understanding of mycobacterial translation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
A recent addition to the -omics toolkit, ribosome profiling, enables researchers to gain insight into the process and regulation of translation by mapping fragments of mRNA protected from nuclease digestion by ribosome binding. In this review, we discuss

Functional Analysis of PSRP1, the Chloroplast Homolog of a Cyanobacterial Ribosome Hibernation Factor

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Bacterial ribosome hibernation factors sequester ribosomes in an inactive state during the stationary phase and in response to stress. The cyanobacterial ribosome hibernation factor LrtA has been suggested to inactivate ribosomes in the dark and to be ...

Structural studies of ribosome stalling and translocation complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this study, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and single particle reconstruction were used as a main technique to investigate the involvement of bacterial ribosomes in two crucial cellular processes: the regulation of gene expression and the ...

A Network-Guided Genetic Approach to Identify Novel Regulators of Adventitious Root Formation in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Adventitious roots (ARs) are formed de novo during post-embryonic development from non-root tissues, in processes that are highly dependent on environmental inputs.

Alkylative damage of mRNA leads to ribosome stalling and rescue by trans translation in bacteria

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Similar to DNA replication, translation of the genetic code by the ribosome is hypothesized to be exceptionally sensitive to small chemical changes to its template mRNA.

Exploring Wells-Dawson Clusters Associated With the Small Ribosomal Subunit

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2019
The polyoxometalate P2W18O626-, the Wells-Dawson cluster, stabilized the ribosome sufficiently for the crystallographers to solve the phase problem and improve the structural resolution.

Defining the interactome of the human mitochondrial ribosome identifies SMIM4 and TMEM223 as respiratory chain assembly factors

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Human mitochondria express a genome that encodes thirteen core subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS). These proteins insert into the inner membrane co-translationally. Therefore, mitochondrial ribosomes engage with the OXA1L-insertase

Expansion of a novel population of NK cells with low ribosome expression in juvenile dermatomyositis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a pediatric autoimmune disease associated with characteristic rash and proximal muscle weakness. To gain insight into differential lymphocyte gene expression in JDM, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 4 new-onset ...
