It's a great pleasure to share our latest collaborative work detailing the composition and structure of the highly rRNA-fragmented mitoribosome from Apicomplexa, such as Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii, now out in @NatureComms rdcu.be/d3R8C

We find that 5MP proteins promote high-fidelity initiation by binding 48S scanning complex to bypass weak start codons. We propose renaming them eIF1S (euk initiation factor 1 scanning). Great collab w/ @grigoriefflab.bsky.social Congrats to all authors! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

🚨 👇 Come and join us in York as a new lecturer (assistant professor) in cryo-ET! This is a research and teaching appointment to the York Structural Biology Laboratory (YSBL). From my experience it's a great place to start a group. Please share widely! jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/lect…

We used cryo-EM to characterize five TRPV3 mutants causing severe genodermatosis Olmsted syndrome (OS). Our results highlight conserved TRP channel gating mechanisms, uncover the molecular basis of OS and provide a guide for future therapeutic strategies. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

It is a great privilege to be named Mencoff Family RNA Research Professor of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University. I am grateful to Samuel M Mencoff and Mencoff Family, Brown University, Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry and Guiliani RNA Center at Brown for this honor. Djuranovic lab will soon celebrate their first year at Brown University.

Visit from a friend and great colleague from Newcastle University. Sergey Melnikov will after snowy February in Providence talk tomorrow about hibernating ribosomes. Another talk at Brown RNA Center. #ribosomes #RNA

RNA capped with dinucleoside polyphosphates has been recently discovered in bacteria and eukaryotes. A new paper provides a structural explanation of how dinucleoside polyphosphates initiate RNA transcription nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
