Authors Lavdovskaia E, Hillen HS, Richter-Dennerlein R Journal Trends in Cell Biology Citation Trends Cell Biol. 2021. Abstract Final maturation steps during ribo-some biogenesis require the assis-tance of assembly and qualitycontrol factors to ensure the foldingof rRNA and proteins into a func-tional translation machinery. Herewe integrate several recent struc-tural snapshots

Authors Grabner CP, Moser T Journal Elife Citation Elife. 2021 Oct 7;10:e63844. Abstract Rod photoreceptors (PRs) use ribbon synapses to transmit visual information. To signal ‘no light detected’ they release glutamate continually to activate post-synaptic receptors. When light is detected glutamate release pauses. How a rod’s individual ribbon enables this

Authors Aibara S, Dienemann Ch, Cramer P Journal Nucleic Acids Research Citation Nucleic Acids Research, 2021; Sep 16, gkab783 Abstract Eukaryotic gene transcription is carried out by three RNA polymerases: Pol I, Pol II and Pol III. Although it has long been known that Pol I can form homodimers, it

Neurosci. 2021, 41 (37) 7742-7767 Abstract Rab-interacting molecule (RIM)-binding protein 2 (BP2) is a multidomain protein of the presynaptic active zone (AZ). By binding to RIM, bassoon

Authors Kokic G, Wagner FR, Chernev A, Urlaub H, Cramer P Journal Nature Citation Nature 2021 Abstract Transcription-coupled DNA repair removes bulky DNA lesions from the genome and protects cells against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Transcription-coupled DNA repair begins when RNA polymerase II (Pol II) stalls at a DNA lesion and recruits
