    Reprogramming of translation in yeast cells impaired for ribosome recycling favors short, efficiently translated mRNAs

    Swati Gaikwad, Fardin Ghobakhlou ... Alan G Hinnebusch
    A mutant impaired for ribosome recycling exhibits translational reprogramming wherein strong mRNAs outcompete weak mRNAs, also observed when preinitiation complexes are diminished by eIF2α phosphorylation or 40S ribosomal subunit depletion.

    Translational control of nociception via 4E-binding protein 1

    Arkady Khoutorsky, Robert P Bonin ... Nahum Sonenberg
    The mTOR downstream effector eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) regulates mechanical nociception via translational control of synaptic transmission in the spinal cord.

    STAT3 is a genetic modifier of TGF-beta induced EMT in KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer

    Stephen D'Amico, Varvara Kirillov ... Nancy C Reich
    Results show that STAT3 and KRAS jointly regulate oncogenic dependency of mutant KRAS cancer cells.

    Yeast Ded1 promotes 48S translation pre-initiation complex assembly in an mRNA-specific and eIF4F-dependent manner

    Neha Gupta, Jon R Lorsch, Alan G Hinnebusch
    Yeast RNA helicase Ded1 stimulates ribosome recruitment of structure-laden native mRNAs in a reconstituted system by interactions between domains in Ded1 and initiation factor eIF4G that stabilizes a Ded1-eIF4F complex.

    Translational control of auditory imprinting and structural plasticity by eIF2α

    Gervasio Batista, Jennifer Leigh Johnson ... Jose L Pena
    Behavioral pharmacology and molecular biology reveal a translational control mechanism underlying auditory imprinting and structural plasticity that can be pharmacologically manipulated to reopen the critical period.

    A nascent polypeptide sequence modulates DnaA translation elongation in response to nutrient availability

    Michele Felletti, Cédric Romilly ... Kristina Jonas
    Specific amino acids in the N-terminus of the replication initiator protein DnaA inhibit translation elongation upon carbon starvation, illustrating that the identity of the N-terminal amino acids of a protein can modulate protein synthesis yield under changing conditions.

    TASEP modelling provides a parsimonious explanation for the ability of a single uORF to derepress translation during the integrated stress response

    Dmitry E Andreev, Maxim Arnold ... Pavel V Baranov
    A model reveals how translation of an mRNA leader could provide resistance to global downregulation of translation.

    Translational control by eIF2α phosphorylation regulates vulnerability to the synaptic and behavioral effects of cocaine

    Wei Huang, Andon N Placzek ... Mauro Costa-Mattioli
    Vulnerability to cocaine addiction during adolescence depends on translational control.

    Translation attenuation by minocycline enhances longevity and proteostasis in old post-stress-responsive organisms

    Gregory M Solis, Rozina Kardakaris ... Michael Petrascheck
    Directly targeting the ribosome to attenuate translation partly mimics the integrated stress response, increasing lifespan and preserving protein folding capacity even in older individuals with dysfunctional stress response signaling.

    Tyrosine phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II CTD is associated with antisense promoter transcription and active enhancers in mammalian cells

    Nicolas Descostes, Martin Heidemann ... Jean-Christophe Andrau
    Genome-wide analysis reveals novel functions for a post-translational modification to the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA Polymerase II in mammals.
