Our first 2021 paper reveals the prevalence and mechanism of a co-translational protein assembly mechanism in human cells: co-co assembly. Congratulations to the co-co team @KaiFenzl, @matildebertolin and @guenter_kramer! science.sciencemag.org/conte… @Sciart by @munafomarzia 1/6

What shall Germany deliver next? A good question posed by @faznet, thanks 🙏🏻 Well, the answer is obvious: Ukraine desperately needs 🇩🇪 fighter jets Tornados & Eurofighters💪 Dear German Government, please do not hesitate Just do the right thing! m.faz.net/aktuell/politik/au…

Great news! Together with @sjtans & @The_Ban_Lab, we are among this year's recipients of a Synergy Grant from @ERC_Research. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey into a mechanistic analysis of the biogenesis of protein complexes 🧬

Our team will combine advanced ribosome profiling, cryo-EM and single-molecule experiments, to study how multiple ribosomes, mRNAs, nascent chains, chaperones and other factors form dynamic super-assemblies that act as coordinated protein complex assembly lines.

Hier eine schöne Allegorie wie das von @LabJoazeiro und @PfefferCryoLab beschriebene MutS2 Protein fehlerhafte Proteinbiosynthese anhand kollidierter Ribosome erkennt und verschiedene Qualitätskontrollmechanismen initiiert bevor das fehlerhafte Protein der Zelle schaden kann.

How do cells fire up the #RQC engine? Check out our structural and mechanistic blueprint for bacterial #ribosome collision sensing by MutS2, out today in @Nature. MutS2 senses collisions and splits ribosomes to initiate RQC! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

B. subtilis MutS2/RqcU deals with stalled ribosomes by binding collided disomes, recruits the RNA degradosome and initiates #RQC by #ribosome splitting. Happy we could contribute to this work led by @LabJoazeiro in collaboration with @PfefferCryoLab x.com/ZmbhH/status/150159148…

A team of researchers led by ZMBH's PIs C. Joazeiro @LabJoazeiro and S. Pfeffer @PfefferCryoLab discovered how the bacterial MutS2 protein prevents damage by stalled ribosomes! Further details in Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Our data suggest that co-co assembly generally involves neighbouring ribosomes on one mRNA, thereby ensuring specific homomer formation of isoforms and structurally-related proteins which are highly prone to promiscuous interactions inside cells. 5/6

Congratulations to our colleagues @ZmbhH for the great work!!
How do you synthesize proteins with only half a ribosome? We are excited to share our work on the structural basis of Alanine tailing in bacterial ribosome-associated quality control (RQC). Great collaboration with @LabJoazeiro @ZmbhH. cell.com/molecular-cell/full…

And that makes two: The fruits of a fun and productive collaboration with the @lab_rosenzweig on a unique regulatory mechanism of class B JDPs that is essential to DNAJB1s ability to support amyloid disaggregation by HSP70. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
