📢 (1/2) Excited to share the first preprint from my PostDoc! We developed UbSeRP to map co-translational ubiquitination in a translatome-wide, revealing thousands of quality control sites, and how they reshape with aging. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #proteostasis #ribosomes #preprint

Ubiquitin selective ribosome profiling reveals systematic principles of co-translational quality control

Protein biogenesis is a stress- and error-sensitive process that can lead to nascent protein misfolding and aggregation, challenging cellular proteostasis. Co-translational ubiquitination (CTU) is a c...

Excited to share the first preprint from the lab! We show that ApeA defends against RNA phage infection by cleaving the phage genome: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Exciting news: Our RNA community in @uniregensburg.bsky.social is set to grow! We are opening a Junior Group Leader position in RNA biochemistry / ribonucleases / RNA stability. A great opportunity to start your own team within our collaborative RNA network. Details & application 👇

This shows that "abortive infection" phenotypes are not neccessarily in all cases a "last line" of defense, but may be the consequence of mechanisms interferring with early steps in the phage life cycle. We further show synergy of daunorubicin with RM systems targeting the FST region T5 phages.

Regulation by RNAs might be even more extensive than we thought. Many enzymes and other proteins not previously considered as RNA-binding proteins do seem to fall into this class & might have their activity regulated by RNA. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
