Traversing through the regulation of translation at its start & stop and looking into teeny-tiny tardigrades. PI: @SandeepME_IISc. @iiscbangalore

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!

Tardigrades went on a space vacation 🚀, took a long nap 💤, and returned to Earth!

But did they wake up as if nothing happened? 👀

Find out in our new preprint!

📢 Publication Alert

Apparently, amoebae have networking skills too!

Excited to share our latest publication on tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) in lower eukaryotes such as amoebae 🥳

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? 🤔

Our latest study suggests that modulation of thermal conductivity contributes to temperature tolerance in anhydrobiotic tardigrades 🥳

Super happy to be part of this work!!

Know that tardigrades can tolerate heat?
Biologists: It’s probably a molecular pathway.
Tardigrades: Have you considered thermodynamics?
Curious? Read our latest: https://t.co/vfNj8vS8Sy

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.
