Inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis by an antimicrobial peptide apidaecin triggers translation arrest at the stop codons, ribosome queuing and pervasive stop codon readthrough.

A method enabling identification of more than 100 RNA modifications in single ribosomal RNA molecules uncovers new classes of modified ribosomes.

RNAs enriched at cell protrusions are translated regardless of their location in the cytoplasm but are dynamically repressed in retracting protrusions and incorporated into heterogeneous RNA clusters.

The antibiotic viomycin induces errors during initial codon selection by the ribosome by locking the monitoring bases in their active conformation.

In nematode worms, NSUN-1 methylates ribosomal RNA and influences phenotypes related to aging, stress resistance, germ line development, and cuticle integrity by regulating translation of specific mRNAs.

By sterically hindering tRNA binding and inhibiting translation elongation, mRNA stem-loops can modulate gene expression.

Near atomic resolution of late 40S ribosomal subunit assembly by cryo-EM reveals immature rRNA active sites stabilized by biogenesis factors.

Noncanonical usage of stop codons in ciliates expands structurally flexible Q-rich domains and coevolves with codon usage biases to avoid triplet repeat disorders mediated by CAG/GTC replication slippage.

Cryo-electron microscopy has been used to provide a structural interpretation of the complete action cycle of release factor 3 during translation termination, which includes a coordinated sequence of interactions with a class-I release factor and the ribosome.

METTL18 methylates histidine 245 of ribosomal protein RPL3, retards ribosome traversal at tyrosine codons, and thus ensures nascent protein folding for proteostasis maintenance.
