eIF4E3 drives translation of viral mRNAs with short 5' UTRs

Autumn O Grimins, Mollie A. Brekker, Sarah Ruth Shick, Ellen L. Suder, Victoria A. Kleiner, Sami Gritli, Ryan Johnston, Alan Wacquiez, Mohsan Saeed, Assen Marintchev, Elke Mühlberger, Rachel Fearns, John H. Connor, Shawn M. Lyons

The paper shows eIF4E3 enables efficient translation of viral mRNAs with short 5' UTRs, unlike the canonical eIF4E1, and identifies this as a mechanism used by viruses like VSV to bypass host translation suppression.

Proteolytic dissection of eIF4G reveals the closed-loop mRNP as an architecture for translation repression.

Ryan Johnston, Mollie A. Brekker, Noelle Khalil, Monty E. Goldstein, Anne Aldrich, Autumn O Grimins, Sami Gritli, Assen Marintchev, Michael D. Blower, Mohsan Saeed, Shawn M. Lyons

The paper shows that eIF4G cleavage products can either rescue or repress translation, revealing the closed-loop mRNP's role in translational silencing rather than initiation.

Topical ABT-1 263 treatment reduces aged skin senescence and improves subsequent wound healing

Maria Shvedova, Rex Jeya Rajkumar Samdavid Thanapaul, Joy Ha, Jannat Dhillon, Grace Haeun Shin, Jack D. Crouch, Adam C. Gower, Sami Gritli, Danny S. Roh

Topical ABT-263 reduces senescence markers in aged skin and improves wound healing by enhancing gene expression related to extracellular matrix remodeling and wound repair.
