This is how co-translational N-terminal myristoylation occurs on the ribosome. NMT1 acts together with NAC, but after the release of MetAP. Cryo-EM study by Timo Denk et al. @beckmannlab.bsky.social @giglionelab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s out! Using cryo-ET in Dicty cells, we take a fresh in situ look at vaults. Surprisingly, we uncover vaults associated with ER and NE membranes, and find that many vaults enclose ribosomes in defined orientations, opening new avenues to their cellular function! www.biorxiv.org/lookup/conte...

ZAK activation at the collided ribosome - Nature
The kinase ZAK is activated at collided ribosomes to mediate the ribotoxic stress response.

How does the kinase ZAK sense ribosome collisions? Find out in our latest collaboration with the @greenlab.bsky.social @doubleshuang.bsky.social @Vienna Huso: 1/4
