Checkout the recent work from our lab that demonstrates how glucose attached to a protein can direct the protein folding and molecular choreography of nascent chains in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Nice reconstitution from @MariappanLab. Nascent proteins from stalled ribosomes are polyubiquitinated and then promptly deubiquitinated, giving a second chance to fold. If a protein still can't fold, it exposes a degron, is re-ubiquitinated and degraded.

We report that nascent chains ubiquitinated on stalled ribosomes undergo complete deubiquitination upon release from ribosomes. Deubiquitinated proteins can fold into mature proteins or be re-ubiquitinated in the cytosol for degradation if they misfold.
We usually think of mRNAs carrying the information needed to make a protein (the central dogma...). But how can the encoded protein control the fate of its encoding mRNA? 🤔

🎉We are thrilled to share our exciting new collaboration with @inada_lab and @jingdongcheng on how Otu2 recognizes and deubiquitinates 40S ribosomes after translation. Here is a thread with the most interesting findings:👇 #ribosome#ubiquitin#cryoEM
A beautiful story from @LukeChaoSun and @erin_schuman on how 19S proteasome caps can independently regulate aspects of synaptic biology. lovely to see it out!! https://t.co/t9nWNysIoY
New work from Ron Kopito and @scafrancesco1 reveal that UFMylation of ER translocon-bound 60S ribosome subunits promotes proteasome-mediated degradation of arrest polypeptides following ribosome stalling. 👏 https://t.co/CdoFQ2YhbJ
