Msp1-dependent extraction promotes ubiquitylation of translocation-stalled mitochondrial precursor proteins

Jeannine Engelke, Noemi Occhipinti, Lisanne Pitzke…·Thomas Becker

This study shows that Msp1 and Ubx2 work together to remove stalled mitochondrial precursor proteins by facilitating ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation.

Beyond a PPR-RNA recognition code: Many aspects matter for the multi-targeting properties of RNA editing factor PPR56

Yingying Yang, Kira Ritzenhofen, Jessica Otrzonsek…·Volker Knoop

The paper investigates how modifications to PPR56 and its targets affect RNA editing in E. coli, identifying off-target effects and enhancing editing at weak targets.
