🎉 And we’re off: #EMBLRBP has officially begun! Scientific organiser Matthias Hentze set the stage for an incredible few days ahead.
Kicking things off in the best way possible, Elena Conti and Anthony Hyman delivered two fantastic keynote lectures! 🤩

Excited to share our latest research on co-translational mRNA decay by the exosome in human cells! We uncover how the exosome-SKI complex is recruited to ribosomes and propose a novel role for SKI in recognizing collided disomes. @MPI_Biochem

Yesterday, @carovinuesa was awarded the Axel Ullrich Medal. In an inspiring #lecture she presented her findings on using #genomics to understand #autoimmunity as well as her contributions to the case of a mother wrongly convicted of killing her children. Thank you, @carovinuesa

@LabConti at @MPI_Biochem uncovers a two-anchor points recruitment of PAPOA to the #polyadenylation machinery whereby PAPOA C-ter gets displaced from its core by FIP1 and can interact with CPSF160.

Have a look at our new manuscript! Multiple conformational states of the Ski complex reveal a direct interaction of Ski2 with the exosome during RNA handover. Congratulations all! 👇👇👇
Happy to share our latest work on cytoplasmic mRNA degradation by the Ski-exosome assembly. We reveal via SPA cryoEM how different conformational states of the Ski complex are connected to exosome recruitment and RNA handover. Thanks to everybody involved @LabConti @MPI_Biochem

Looking forward to introduce Elena Conti @LabConti at Nymphenburg castle on Oct 20 for her public 2023 Kafatos Lecture.
Learn about the life and death of mRNA and why this is a big deal.
2023 Kafatos Lecturer and world-renowned biologist Elena Conti will discuss the molecular marvels that govern our cellular mRNAs in Munich on 20 October. Open & free to the public.

Our new study exploring the molecular principles governing packaging of eukaryotic mRNPs has just come out in @GenesDev .
We find evidence for RNA packaging and compaction relying on positively charged IDRs of potentially many RNA binding proteins. Interested? Check it out!
