RNA Structure Coordinates Translation Across the Meiotic Program
Hao Wu, Caini Zhou, Shoucheng Du, Simon Felder, Yihan Xiong, Kevin M. Weeks, Yun Bai
In yeast meiosis, flexibly folded mRNAs are preferentially translated while cytoplasmic RNA helicase levels dip; raising Ded1p or breaking CCW22 UTR pairing mistimes translation and disrupts meiotic progression.
