Here the authors show that, under stress, epithelial cells reveal an unexpected role for a chromatin factor in directing mRNA to cell protrusions, enabling local organelle assembly and cell movement, ...

The eORFeome, a large-scale collection of open reading frames encoding viral proteins and secreted bacterial and parasite effectors, enables functional genomics across diverse pathways and pathogens. ...

Nuclear protein homeostasis relies on proteasome import into the nucleus. Here the authors identify how assembled human proteasomes are transported across the nuclear pore complex and reveal a mechani...

Abstract. Formation of the eukaryotic ribosomal subunits follows a strict regime to assemble ribosomal proteins (r-protein) with ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) whil

Phase separation of proteins plays a critical role in cellular organisation. How phase separated protein condensates underpin biological function and how condensates achieve specificity remain elusive...

Intracellular pathogens hijack host gene expression to subvert cellular processes. Here, the authors show that Legionella pneumophila’s PieF effector inhibits the human CCR4-NOT deadenylation machiner...

Join theMax Perutz Labs as Full Professor to unravel disease mechanisms—from metabolism and stress to RNA regulation, epigenetics, and immunity.

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins play essential roles in cellular function. A growing body of work has shown that IDRs often interact with partners in a manner that does not depend ...
