A role for the S4-domain containing protein YlmH in ribosome-associated quality control in Bacillus subtilis

H. Takada, H. Paternoga, K. Fujiwara, J. A. Nakamoto, E. N. Park, L. Dimitrova-Paternoga, B. Beckert, M. Saarma, T. Tenson, A. Buskirk, G. C. Atkinson, S. Chiba, D. N. Wilson, V. Hauryliuk

This study identifies YlmH as a novel RQC factor in B. subtilis, showing it can replace RqcP in polyalanine tail addition and is conserved in bacteria lacking RqcP.

Structural basis for translation inhibition 1 by the glycosylated antimicrobial peptide Drosocin from Drosophila melanogaster

T. O. Koller, M. Morici, M. Berger, H. Safdari, D. S. Lele, B. Beckert, K. J. Kaur, D. N. Wilson

This study reveals how O-glycosylation of drosocin affects its interaction with the ribosome, inhibiting translation by trapping RF1 in the exit tunnel.

Structure of Gcn1 bound to stalled and colliding 80S ribosomes

A. A. Pochopien, B. Beckert, S. Kasvandik, O. Berninghausen, R. Beckmann, T. Tenson, D. N. Wilson

This study presents a cryo-EM structure of yeast Gcn1 bound to stalled and colliding 80S ribosomes, revealing its interaction with ribosomes and the role of Rbg2/Gir2 in repressing Gcn2.

The alarmone (p)ppGpp is part of the heat shock response of Bacillus subtilis

H. Schäfer, B. Beckert, W. Steinchen, A. Nuss, M. Beckstette, I. Hantke, P. Sudzinova, L. Krasny, V. Kaever, P. Dersch, G. Bange, D. Wilson, K. Turgay

This study shows that (p)ppGpp, a bacterial alarmone, mediates the heat shock response in B. subtilis by reducing translation and enhancing stress tolerance.
