Ribosomal protein eL22 contributes to the assembly of 60S ribosomal subunits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

José Fernández‐Fernández, Sara Martín‐Villanueva, Taylor N. Ayers…·Jesús de la Cruz

This study investigates the role of eL22 in yeast ribosome assembly, showing it is required for 60S subunit production, especially at low temperatures, and is involved in pre-rRNA processing and nuclear export.

Hybridization led to a rewired pluripotency network in the allotetraploid Xenopus laevis

Wesley A. Phelps, Matthew D. Hurton, Taylor N. Ayers…·Miler T. Lee

The paper shows that hybridization rewired the pluripotency network in Xenopus laevis by divergent activation of subgenomes by OCT4 and SOX2 homologs.

Parallels and contrasts between the cnidarian and bilaterian maternal-to-zygotic transition are revealed in Hydractinia embryos

Taylor N. Ayers, Matthew L. Nicotra, Miler T. Lee

This study compares the maternal-to-zygotic transition in cnidarian and bilaterian embryos, finding shared regulatory mechanisms and unique features in Hydractinia.
