In our study @elife.bsky.social we uncover the mechanism of mPPase inhibition. Over 20x structures to date are in a symmetric form. We use EPR(PELDOR/DEER) and reveal asymmetric binding at the active site while maintaining symmetric conformation at periplasmic site elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Our new paper describes how SunTag imaging of mRNA translation can be used to study ribosome pausing in development. We also adapt the system to study translation of a secreted protein. Work done in collaboration with @mrattray.bsky.social and @markashe.bsky.social doi.org/10.1242/jcs....

Exploiting the SunTag system to study the developmental regulation of mRNA translation

The ability to quantitatively study mRNA translation using SunTag imaging is transforming our understanding of the translation process. Here, we expand the SunTag method to study new aspects of transl...

Is there more to defining the eve stripes in the Drosophila embryo than just transcriptional regulation? We provide evidence that spatially regulated mRNA decay is also important.

Very glad to see this study finally out (and mentioned on bsky already!)- it's been a huge #collaboration across different groups🙏🏻 Fibroblasts recycles (in a #circadian manner) #collagen to make new fibrils, which is enhanced in #fibrosis. doi.org/10.7554/eLif... @elife.bsky.social

Endocytic recycling is central to circadian collagen fibrillogenesis and disrupted in fibrosis

Secretion and fibrillogenesis of collagen-I are separately controlled molecular pathways in the fibroblast, where surprisingly endocytic recycling is required for fibril formation and is increased in ...
