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 shows that respiration-induced gene expression and stress response pathways are critical for maintaining cytoplasmic properties and survival in yeast quiescence.

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

This study shows that fluorescent and poly-histidine tags alter the condensation properties of Dhh1 in vitro and P-body numbers in vivo, raising concerns about the reliability of tagged protein condensation experiments.
