Single-cell analysis of pre-rRNA in Escherichia coli indicates distinct pathways of action for YbeX and YbeY proteins in ribosome biogenesis

The paper uses single-cell analysis to show YbeX and YbeY have distinct roles in ribosome biogenesis in E. coli, with YbeX causing heterogeneous pre-rRNA processing and YbeY affecting 16S rRNA maturation.

Neuronal RNA granules are ribosome complexes stalled at the pre-translocation state

The paper characterizes neuronal RNA granules using proteomics and cryo-EM, revealing ribosomes stalled in a pre-translocation state with a novel rocking motion.
