Viral and cellular translation during SARS‐CoV‐2 infection

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2022
SARS‐CoV‐2 is a betacoronavirus that emerged in China in December 2019 and which is the causative agent of the Covid‐19 pandemic. This enveloped virus contains a large positive‐sense single‐stranded RNA genome.

NUFIP1 is a ribosome receptor for starvation-induced ribophagy

open access: yesScience, 2018
A selective autophagy receptor identified Autophagosomes engulf and degrade cellular components in lysosomes. Degradation of ribosomes is called ribophagy and is an important source of nutrients.

snoRNPs: Functions in Ribosome Biogenesis

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Ribosomes are perhaps the most critical macromolecular machine as they are tasked with carrying out protein synthesis in cells. They are incredibly complex structures composed of protein components and heavily chemically modified RNAs.

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

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

A systematically-revised ribosome profiling method for bacteria reveals pauses at single-codon resolution

open access: yeseLife, 2019
In eukaryotes, ribosome profiling provides insight into the mechanism of protein synthesis at the codon level. In bacteria, however, the method has been more problematic and no consensus has emerged for how to best prepare profiling samples.

On the Ribosomal Density that Maximizes Protein Translation Rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
During mRNA translation, several ribosomes attach to the same mRNA molecule simultaneously translating it into a protein. This pipelining increases the protein production rate. A natural and important question is what ribosomal density maximizes the protein production rate.

Ribosome recycling, diffusion, and mRNA loop formation in translational regulation [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 85, 755-773, (2003), 2003
We explore and quantify the physical and biochemical mechanisms that may be relevant in the regulation of translation. After elongation and detachment from the 3' termination site of mRNA, parts of the ribosome machinery can diffuse back to the initiation site, especially if it is held nearby, enhancing overall translation rates.

Structural and mechanistic basis for the regulation of the chloroplast signal recognition particle by (p)ppGpp

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

Ribosome biogenesis during cell cycle arrest fuels EMT in development and disease

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Ribosome biogenesis is a canonical hallmark of cell growth and proliferation. Here we show that execution of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a migratory cellular program associated with development and tumor metastasis, is fueled by ...
