Molecular mechanism of IF1- and IF2-driven translation initiation in bacteria

Gabriel Soares Guerra, Hassan Zafar, Xueliang Ge…·Gabriel Demo

This study elucidates the molecular mechanism of IF1 and IF2 in bacterial translation initiation using cryo-EM and fast-kinetics, showing their roles in subunit association, GTP hydrolysis, and Pi release.

Sequence-specific trapping of EF-Tu/glycyl-tRNA complex on the ribosome by bottromycin

Dmitrii Y. Travin, Ritwika S. Basu, Madhura N. Paranjpe…·Matthieu G. Gagnon

This study identifies bottromycin's mechanism of action as selectively trapping EF-Tu/glycyl-tRNA complex on the ribosome, inhibiting translation at glycine codons.
