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.

The paper identifies ResQ as a release factor-dependent ribosome rescue factor in Bacillus subtilis, showing it is essential for growth and functions by recruiting RF2 to stalled ribosomes.
