The paper shows that increasing translation initiation rates accelerates nucleation of aggregating proteins at polysomes, suggesting cotranslational nucleation influences proteome evolution.

The paper identifies TFIID and SAGA complex subunits in C. albicans and shows that TAF12 paralogs form heterodimers through cotranslational assembly, ensuring specificity and stability of histone-like complexes.

This study identifies BB0346 as an essential LolA homolog in Borrelia burgdorferi that functions in a LolB-deficient lipoprotein sorting system, leading to mislocalization of inner membrane lipoproteins.

The paper shows that disruptions in Pol I rRNA transcription specifically affect craniofacial development by causing NCC apoptosis and craniofacial anomalies in mice.

This paper identifies DYRK1A's role in DNA repair by regulating RNF169-mediated 53BP1 recruitment to DSB sites, with implications for DNA damage therapy response.
