The paper shows that during acute glucose withdrawal in yeast, newly synthesized stress mRNAs escape translational repression while pre-existing mRNAs are repressed, revealing a timing-based coordination of transcriptional and translational responses.

This study examines how protein tags affect condensate formation in different contexts and identifies charge as a key factor influencing condensation behavior.

This study shows that polysomes and mRNA organization control cytoplasmic biophysical properties by affecting diffusivity through translation inhibition and mRNA condensation.

The paper measures mRNA decay in yeast and finds translation initiation, not codon optimality or elongation, determines mRNA stability, with an average half-life of 4.8 minutes.
