Excited to share the first paper from our new lab @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWScience ! 🎉 Now out in @NatureComms Mechanisms of human mitochondrial leaderless mRNA translation initiation nature.com/articles/s4146…

@IsraelF96135088 @UTSWMedCenter Thanks a lot Israel! Hope to catch up soon.

Please do NOT miss Jinfan's new work on human mitochondrial translation initiation. This is the first publication of Jinfan as independent scientist with his group @UTSWMedCenter Congrats brother! rdcu.be/fd8VW

@guo_lab @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWScience @NatureComms Thanks Junjie!

@JinfanW @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWScience @NatureComms Nice work! Congratulations on the first paper!

Huge thanks to my team and to our dear friend and collaborator Dan Kober 🚀 And thank you to everyone who offered help and support along the way. Our lab @UTSWMedCenter is hiring #postdoc, please reach out if you're interested in our research.

Using biochemical reconstitution, single-molecule fluorescence, and cryo-EM, we watched this process unfold in real time. Read more: nature.com/articles/s4146…

@DjuranovicLab @slavicaPD @Hashemyaser4 Very cool to see the story published. Congratulations again!

Our RAPPL purification of ribosomes and associated material is finally out. I am really proud of this study in collaboration primary with @slavicaPD lab, as well as Marko Jovanovic and @Hashemyaser4 Labs. This method aims to replace 60 years old purification of ribosomes by sucrose cushions by Britten and Roberts. rdcu.be/ezlhg

@TheYousufKhan Beautiful work! Congratulations!

Sharing some of my PhD work that just came out today. TLDR; We found a universal mechanism for all the many kinds of SNAREs are processed and recycled by a single molecular machine that is conserved in all eukaryotic life as we know it (1/5) nature.com/articles/s4159…

@OlivierDuss @MarcoPayr Congrats Oli! I am curious how you made this fabulous animation, would you mind sharing your tricks? 😁

Ever wondered how several individual RBPs cooperate to repress translation? To figure it out, we simultaneously tracked the binding of several proteins to single mRNA molecules in real-time! Lead by @MarcoPayr and great collaboration with Hennig lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@DmitriErmolenko Thanks Dmitri!

@JinfanW Thank you! We discussed your great paper in length. Congratulations on starting your lab by the way!

Using reporters with long unstructured 5’ UTRs, we examined which initiation factors are limiting for 40S scanning. Our results&literature led us to the model that 40S scans 5’ UTRs by one-dimensional diffusion rather than helicase-driven translocation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations @DJSiegwart 🎉

First paper of our lab today @Nature by Nussi! We provide a real-time movie on how #transcription and #translation cooperate using multi-color #single-molecule FM: we find long-range #ribosome-#polymerase communication mediated by #RNA looping! @embl doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

@OlivierDuss @Nature @embl Spectacular work! Congratulations Oli!!!

@OlivierDuss @ERC_Research @embl Congratulations Oli 🎉🎉

Very grateful to get support from #ERCCoG @ERC_Research -to study how #transcription, #translation and #DNA repair cooperate -combining #single-molecule #microscopy in vitro & live cells and #cryoET -obtaining a real-time movie🎥🎞️ -hiring soon @embl ! embl.org/news/awards-ho…
