    Translational initiation factor eIF5 replaces eIF1 on the 40S ribosomal subunit to promote start-codon recognition

    Jose Luis Llácer, Tanweer Hussain ... V Ramakrishnan
    The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the initiation factor eIF5 bound to the 40S subunit at the precise location vacated by eIF1 promotes tRNAi accommodation at AUG codons.

    Translation of 5′ leaders is pervasive in genes resistant to eIF2 repression

    Dmitry E Andreev, Patrick BF O'Connor ... Pavel V Baranov
    Most of the mRNAs whose translation is resistant to the stress-induced repression of protein synthesis contain upstream open reading frames that are efficiently translated under normal conditions.

    The β-hairpin of 40S exit channel protein Rps5/uS7 promotes efficient and accurate translation initiation in vivo

    Jyothsna Visweswaraiah, Yvette Pittman ... Alan G Hinnebusch
    A structural element of mRNA exit channel protein Rps5 performs a critical role in start codon recognition during translation initiation by stabilizing initiator tRNA binding to the pre-initiation complex.

    Inhibiting the integrated stress response pathway prevents aberrant chondrocyte differentiation thereby alleviating chondrodysplasia

    Cheng Wang, Zhijia Tan ... Kathryn Song Eng Cheah
    Integrated stress response-induced expression of ATF4 and its transactivation of SOX9 causes aberrant chondrocyte differentiation and skeletal defects which can be alleviated by modulating initiation-factor eIF2α phosphorylation translation control.

    The ribosomal P-stalk couples amino acid starvation to GCN2 activation in mammalian cells

    Heather P Harding, Adriana Ordonez ... David Ron
    Genetic lesions that compromise the ribosome P-stalk implicate direct signalling from the ribosome to the translation initiation factor eIF2 kinase GCN2 in the cellular response to amino acid starvation.

    Antisense, but not sense, repeat expanded RNAs activate PKR/eIF2α-dependent ISR in C9ORF72 FTD/ALS

    Janani Parameswaran, Nancy Zhang ... Jie Jiang
    C9ORF72 antisense repeat expanded RNAs activate PKR/eIF2α dependent integrated stress response and cause neuronal toxicity independent of DPR proteins.

    mTOR-dependent translation drives tumor infiltrating CD8+ effector and CD4+ Treg cells expansion

    Benedetta De Ponte Conti, Annarita Miluzio ... Sara Ricciardi
    In the tumor microenvironment, only specific subsets of cytotoxic and immunosuppressive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are endowed with active translation.

    The switch-like expression of heme-regulated kinase 1 mediates neuronal proteostasis following proteasome inhibition

    Beatriz Alvarez-Castelao, Susanne tom Dieck ... Erin M Schuman
    In neurons, inhibition of the proteasome results in feedback inhibition of protein synthesis, mediated by heme-regulated kinase 1, which is optimized to act as both a sensor and an effector.

    The transcription factor Xrp1 orchestrates both reduced translation and cell competition upon defective ribosome assembly or function

    Marianthi Kiparaki, Chaitali Khan ... Nicholas E Baker
    Ribosomal protein mutations, mutations that affect ribosomal RNA synthesis, or function of the mature ribosome, trigger a transcriptional response mediated by Xrp1 expression which reduces cellular translation via eIF2-alpha phosphorylation and renders cells liable to competition with wild-type neighbors.
