Our high-resolution (2.2 Å) in situ structural work reveals details of translational landscape, with various cofactors and antitumor drug/inhibitor, all directly within human cells!

Exciting to see peptides targeting new sites on the ribosome and exerting context-dependent effects through novel means! Congrats to all involved at @WilsonLab2@shuramankin and @Suessmuth_Lab !!!
Our preprint reporting the structure and mechanism of the natural product translation inhibitors paenilamicins is out…completely novel binding site on the ribosome! dlvr.it/T7CNnf…great collaboration with @Suessmuth_Lab @shuramankin
Angiogenin controls angiogenesis (et plus) by nicking tRNAs. But it’s barely active alone. We discovered how 80S ribosome unlocks Ang’s active site and “brings in” tRNAs.
Congrats to Anna Loveland and collab. w/@ajplanetearth!

Read our latest #research on antimicrobial peptides that inhibit the activity of the bacterial ribosome in multiple ways, published in @NatureComms Thx to all co-authors & the members of the Grubmüller, Hoffmann and Spahn groups. rdcu.be/dHxGLnature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/go…
The final version of the most recent paper on the ribosome regulatory TnaC peptide and L-Trp saga is finally out. @gentle_heather@shuramankin
Functional domains of a ribosome arresting peptide are affected by surrounding nonconserved residues - jbc.org/article/S0021-9258%2…
I wrote a review (with @_JosephWatson@sid_thesci_kid ) on protein design using structure prediction models--i.e. hallucination, inpainting, diffusion. This approach to protein design started as a convenience but has turned out to be surprisingly powerful. cshperspectives.cshlp.org/co…
We reveal the mechanism of bacterial ribosome recycling by HflXr (and HflX). HflXr employs a novel strategy to split the ribosome into subunits
that differs from that mediated by EF-G and RRF

We are thrilled to share our last #research story @NatureSMB describing how the CNK-HYP scaffolding complex activates RAF kinase by enhancing the KSR:MEK interaction. Great collaborations with the Sicheri lab @SinaiHealth and Therrien lab @IRIC_umontrealrdcu.be/dzjYS
Congratulations Alba! First an HFSP fellowship and now an MSCA fellowship to work on cool new antiviral defense systems @MDMlab_Paris ! 🥳🍾🥂Exciting times lie ahead!!
Bacteria have an astonishing ability to put their life on pause in the face of stress and starvation by entering a state of dormancy. Here, we discover one aspect of this remarkable self-preservation strategy: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
