This study identifies the roles of ABCF ATPases YfmR and YkpA/YbiT in resolving ribosomal stalling during protein synthesis in Bacillus subtilis.

This study identifies YlmH as a novel RQC factor in B. subtilis, showing it can replace RqcP in polyalanine tail addition and is conserved in bacteria lacking RqcP.

The paper identifies novel bacterial arrest peptides associated with protein localization machinery through domain-wide searches and phylogenetic analysis, revealing their widespread distribution and evolutionary significance.

The paper investigates ribosome ubiquitination dynamics during zebrafish development, identifying Znf598-mediated ubiquitination of Rps10/eS10 as a key regulatory mechanism.

This study reveals a guanosine-switch mechanism that regulates the opposing activities of bifunctional Rel enzymes through allosteric changes.

The paper analyzes ABCF ATPases across 4505 genomes to uncover their diversity, subfamily relationships, and roles in antibiotic resistance and ribosome function.
