🚀 Just published: New1 shields mRNAs from no-go decay — by preventing ribosome crashes at specific codons.
What’s new?
New1 (eEF3 homolog) stops ribosomes from stalling at C-terminal AAA/AGG/CGU codons. No New1 = collisions + Hel2 recruitment + Cue2-mediated no-go decay.

New preprint: We isolate peptide–RNA photo-crosslinks with tunable RNA chains from living cells for mass spec. This maps over 4,700 crosslinking sites across 744 proteins and offers the first glimpse into the RNA sequences in crosslinks by MS. Read here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Peptide-RNA photo-crosslinks with tunable RNA chain map protein-RNA interfaces
Photo-crosslinking mass spectrometry enables the identification of protein-RNA interactions in living cells, pinpointing interaction interfaces at single-amino acid resolution. However, current isolat...

UbiREAD deciphers proteasomal degradation code of homotypic and branched K48 and K63 ubiquitin chains
Ubiquitin chains determine the fates of their modified proteins, including proteasomal degradation. Kiss et al. present UbiREAD, a technology to monitor cellular degradation and deubiquitination at high temporal resolution after intracellular delivery of ubiquitinated proteins. This reveals a degradation code for ubiquitin chains varying by linkage, length, and topology.
