I’m super excited to share that I received an @ERC_Research Starting Grant!! The DECODE-PMD project will boost research in my new lab @CRGenomica to unravel how nascent proteins can trigger degradation of their own mRNA during translation.

Lab’s first paper is out 🥳🍾! We reveal how tubulins regulate the stability of their mRNAs via reversible sequestration of TTC5. Bravo A. Batiuk and all coauthors! @MarkusHopfler @AC_Almeida_ @LilaVart @OscarVadas @unige_en @NatureComms

Finally out! We identify the first regulatory step in the tubulin autoregulation pathway: TTC5 is sequestered by free αβ-tubulins to prevent it from ribosome binding. Thanks for a great collaboration with @Ivana_Gasic and Zhewang Lin! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll start a lab at the CRG in Barcelona next spring! We’ll investigate how cells tune protein production by selective co-translational mRNA degradation to control protein homeostasis and microtubule dynamics! 😎🧪👇

Really great collaboration with the lab of @Ivana_Gasic to figure out the mechanisms controlling selective tubulin mRNA degradation!

Lab’s first preprint🥂! Following our passion for #RNA & #cytoskeleton, we find how tubulins control the stability of their encoding mRNAs via reversible repression of TTC5. Abolishing this repression suppresses tubulin mRNA stability and poisons mitosis👇

A subset of polytopic membrane proteins, such as subunits of the GABAA receptor, remains incompletely inserted when translation is terminated. We describe an essential post-translational step that completes insertion of such proteins. nature.com/articles/s41594-0…

We usually think of mRNAs carrying the information needed to make a protein (the central dogma...). But how can the encoded protein control the fate of its encoding mRNA? 🤔
