Just submitted by first first-author paper for review! 🥳 A glance into how the tRNA methyltranferase Trm10 discriminates between structurally similar tRNA species. @ConnLabEmory @OSU_RNA @EmoryBCDB #tRNA #methyltransferase biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

tRNA m1G9 modification depends on substrate-specific RNA conformational changes induced by the...

The methyltransferase Trm10 modifies a subset of tRNAs on the base N1 position of the 9th nucleotide in the tRNA core. Trm10 is conserved throughout Eukarya and Archaea, and mutations in the human...

Do you, guys, know that bacterial cells possess a previously unknown translation factor, a homolog of eukaryotic translation factors? We describe this protein in our ongoing study with Chris Hill @chillzaa, showing its potential role in ribosome dormancy😊 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Structure of dormant bacterial ribosomes reveals an elusive translation factor with evolutionary...

During starvation and stress, virtually all organisms arrest their protein synthesis and convert their ribosomes into a state of dormancy in which a special class of proteins, known as hibernation...

Our paper now out on how HflXr confers antibiotic resistance using a ribosome protection mechanism! Great collaboration with the usual suspects… @hauryliuk @gem__atkinson @Timmeeeyhh @caillancm academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

Structural basis for HflXr-mediated antibiotic resistance in Listeria monocytogenes

Abstract. HflX is a ubiquitous bacterial GTPase that splits and recycles stressed ribosomes. In addition to HflX, Listeria monocytogenes contains a second

Wow! How many times have we discussed this topic? Make time to listen in for this one- despite the ridiculously busy schedule this audience has (ah the irony!) @ASBMB @DunhamLabEmory @MaluTansey and too many more to name!

I wrote an article for Science ATL to highlight the achievements of John Cornforth - just one of the many deaf scientist who has made incredible contributions to their field!
Science ATL@ScienceATL12 Sep 2022
In honor of #DeafAwarenessMonth, we're shining the spotlight on an incredible deaf scientist: John Cornforth. Learn how his pivotal research in stereochemistry lead to a Nobel Prize in 1975 and helped pave the way for modern medicine! scienceatl.org/meet-john-cor…

Meet John Cornforth: A Master of Chemical Synthesis - Science ATL

The research of Sir John Cornforth was pivotal in helping us understand the three-dimensional arrangements, or stereochemistry, of atoms.
