SNOR promotes translation restart after dormancy - Nature
High-resolution in situ cryo-electron tomography in Schizosaccharomyces pombe identifies SNOR protein, which binds to ribosomes during dormancy induced by glucose depletion, priming them for rapid reactivation of protein synthesis upon glucose repletion.

Nice preprint from @gallegolab.bsky.social! Bridging static structures of exocyst with dynamic function provides really interesting flexible, ring-shaped higher-order exocyst structure (ExHOS). Continuum architecture dynamics of vesicle tethering in exocytosis www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
