Ribosomal leaky scanning through a translated uORF requires eIF4G2

Victoria V. Smirnova et al.

Summary: eIF4G2 is a translation initiation factor in higher eukaryotes that drives translation under stress when eIF4E activity is impaired. This study shows that eIF4G2 also plays a role in scanning process under normal conditions and replaces eIF4G1 during scanning of 5 ' UTR. It is crucial for higher eukaryotes with long 5 ' UTRs and frequent uORFs.

Ribosome profiling reveals novel regulation of C9ORF72 GGGGCC repeat-containing RNA translation

Heleen M. van 't Spijker et al.

Summary: GGGGCC (G(4)C(2)) repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72 leads to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. The repeated RNA is translated into neurotoxic DPR proteins. It was found that there are three translation initiation sites in the intron upstream of the (G(4)C(2)) repeats, and ribosomes are stalled on the repeats during translocation. Additionally, the translation process is inhibited by a uORF in the preceding exon.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.

Translational control of stem cell function

James A. Saba et al.

Summary: Stem cells are characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into different cell types, and recent studies have shown that their behavior is closely tied to the regulation of protein synthesis by the ribosome. Understanding how translation mechanisms control stem cell function, including pluripotency and differentiation, may provide insights into mechanisms of tumorigenesis.
