This study identifies Drg1 as a ribosome-associated GTPase that links cytosolic translation to mitochondrial homeostasis by supporting the synthesis of mitochondrial proteins.

This study identifies conserved Obg-type GTPases that support protein synthesis during physiological ribosomal pauses across domains of life.

This study identifies a PrfH subfamily that rescues both damaged and intact ribosomes stalled in translation, revealing dual mechanisms for peptide hydrolysis.

This study shows that conserved pseudouridines in ribosome helix 69 affect ribosome dynamics and translation efficiency, particularly for rare codons.

This study investigates how pseudouridine affects ribosome susceptibility to aminoglycosides by comparing wild-type and pseudouridine-deficient ribosomes.

The paper identifies Drg GTPases as conserved translation factors that alleviate ribosomal stalling by promoting protein synthesis across bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea.
