Folding the Mitochondrial UPR into the Integrated Stress Response.

TL;DR: Recent research into the mechanisms underlying UPRMT signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans are reviewed and emerging connections between the UPRmt signaling and a translational regulation program called the 'integrated stress response' are discussed.

The helicase Ded1p controls use of near-cognate translation initiation codons in 5′ UTRs

TL;DR: It is shown that the effects of Ded1p on the initiation of translation are connected to near-cognate initiation codons in 5′ untranslated regions, and this program has a role in meiosis, in which a marked decrease in the levels of Ded 1p is accompanied by the activation of the alternative translation initiation sites that are seen when the activity of Ded2p is repressed.

A high-resolution temporal atlas of the SARS-CoV-2 translatome and transcriptome.

TL;DR: A high-resolution atlas of the translatome and transcriptome of SARS-CoV-2 for various time points after infecting human cells is presented in this article.

Manipulating gene translation in plants by CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing of upstream open reading frames.

TL;DR: Unlike previous methods, this strategy achieves fine-tuning of gene translation in transgene-free derivatives, which accelerates the analysis of gene function and the improvement of crop traits.

Metabolite Control of Translation by Conserved Peptide uORFs: The Ribosome as a Metabolite Multisensor.

TL;DR: Ribosomes translate the mRNA code into protein, and this process can be controlled by metabolites that bind to the translating ribosome in interaction with the nascent protein.

RNA-Seq: a revolutionary tool for transcriptomics

TL;DR: The RNA-Seq approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods.

Genome-Wide Analysis in Vivo of Translation with Nucleotide Resolution Using Ribosome Profiling

TL;DR: A ribosomesome-profiling strategy based on the deep sequencing of ribosome-protected mRNA fragments is presented and enables genome-wide investigation of translation with subcodon resolution and is used to monitor translation in budding yeast under both rich and starvation conditions.

Regulation of Translation Initiation in Eukaryotes: Mechanisms and Biological Targets

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the molecular structures and biochemical functions of the translation initiation machinery are described and key strategies that mediate general or gene-specific translational control are summarized, particularly in mammalian systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of eukaryotic translation initiation and principles of its regulation

TL;DR: This work has provided a solid foundation for studying the regulation of translation initiation by mechanisms that include the modulation of initiation factor activity and through sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins and microRNAs (which affect individual mRNAs).

Ribosome Profiling of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Reveals the Complexity and Dynamics of Mammalian Proteomes

TL;DR: A suite of techniques, based on ribosome profiling, are presented to provide genome-wide maps of protein synthesis as well as a pulse-chase strategy for determining rates of translation elongation, revealing an unanticipated complexity to mammalian proteomes.
