Think the 3'UTR is just a non-coding tail?
Our new preprint shows ribosomes translating a conserved dORF in RPL36A, acting as a bodyguard to protect the mRNA from miRNA-5701 destruction!

Dried to survive: desiccated tardigrades tolerate high heat
The famously resilient creatures can withstand temperatures of 85 °C if allowed to dry out first.

Publication alert 📢
Tardigrades really said: “85°C in tun state? Easy peasy lemon squeezy 😎🔥”
How do these tiny water bears survive extreme thermal stress? 🤔

How short can a degron be?
We report a 9–aa, genetically encoded, tunable degron that drives MDM2-dependent degradation and enables precise control of endogenous protein levels. Thanks to @EswarappaLab for the opportunity to explore this in yeast.

I will be presenting a poster on my doctoral work on In vivo Significance of Stop Codon Readthrough in MTCH2 from @EswarappaLab at EMBL Conference Protein Synthesis and Translational Control. Please drop by Poster #203 to know more about the work
