Antibiotics and the ribosome [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2006 SummaryThe ribosome is one of the main antibiotic targets in the cell. Recent years brought important insights into the mode of interaction of antibiotics with the ribosome and mechanisms of antibiotic action. Ribosome crystallography provided a detailed view of the interactions between antibiotics and rRNA.

Identification of the plant mitochondrial OrfX protein: A mass spectrometry approach
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The mitochondrial genome of plants contains an open reading frame, orfx, which encodes a rare protein that has so far escaped mass spectrometric detection. The protein resembles the c‐subunit of bacterial twin‐arginine‐motif‐dependent protein translocases (TatC).

Structural characterization of ribosome recruitment and translocation by type IV IRES
eLife, 2016 Viral mRNA sequences with a type IV IRES are able to initiate translation without any host initiation factors. Initial recruitment of the small ribosomal subunit as well as two translocation steps before the first peptidyl transfer are essential for the ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Translation is an important step in gene expression. Initiation of translation is rate-limiting, and it is phylogenetically more diverse than elongation or termination. Bacteria contain only three initiation factors. In stark contrast, eukaryotes contain

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a subtype of ALL involving the malignant expansion of T-cell progenitors. It is driven by a number of different possible genetic lesions, including mutations in genes encoding for ribosomal proteins (RPs ...

Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

Transcripts enriched in codons that trigger P‐site tRNA‐mediated mRNA decay possess stable mRNA
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.PTMD codons were first described by Mendel et al. as mediators of an mRNA decay pathway dependent on the human protein CNOT3, homologous to yeast Not5. Our findings confirm that PTMD codons destabilize transcripts; however, unlike in yeast, the human pathway specifically targets and slightly destabilizes primarily stable mRNAs.
