Three catalase-peroxidases promote extended stationary phase survival of Vibrio natriegens during ecologically relevant exposures to exogenous hydrogen peroxide

This study identifies three catalase-peroxidases in V. natriegens that enhance survival during stationary phase under hydrogen peroxide stress, but not during exponential growth.

The Importance of Nonsense Errors: Estimating the Rate and Implications of Drop-Off Errors during Protein Synthesis

This paper models nonsense error rates in protein synthesis using ribosome profiling data and finds codon-specific variation in error rates and evidence of selection against nonsense errors.

Profiling Expression Strategies for a Type III Polyketide Synthase in a Lysate-Based, Cell-free System

This paper improves the expression of a type III polyketide synthase in cell-free systems by optimizing codon usage and promoters, showing better results than traditional codon optimization.
