Observing intersubunit dynamics in single yeast ribosomes

Ananya Das, Amy K Grove, Aleksandr V. Ivanov, Hironao Wakabayashi, Dmitri N. Ermolenko

This study uses single-molecule FRET to observe intersubunit rotation in yeast ribosomes and links it to tRNA transitions and elongation factor actions.

40S ribosomal subunits scan mRNA for the start codon by one-dimensional diffusion

Hironao Wakabayashi, Mingyi Zhu, Elizabeth J. Grayhack, David H. Mathews, Dmitri N. Ermolenko

The paper shows that 40S ribosomal subunits scan mRNA via one-dimensional diffusion rather than helicase-driven translocation in yeast.
