The story of how multiple RBPs cooperate to repress translation is now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social by @marcopayr.bsky.social and in a great collaboration with @hennig-lab.bsky.social!

Breathtaking views at Catoctin Mt yesterday ☀️🙌 Love this hike!
Excited to share our new paper! This was a fun project, and I’m grateful to all who made it possible! 🧬😊
I’m so honored and thankful to have won a poster prize! I learned a lot this week from this lovely community. Thanks to the organizers for putting on another excellent meeting.
I had a blast with these apple-solutely brilliant scientists on Saturday!

Strasbourg sights! Enjoying every moment of the 2025 Microbial RNA Meeting 😊🇫🇷
🎉 We’re excited to officially kick off the ERC Synergy project, snoOPERA, with Anthony Henras, Brigitte Pertschy, and Roland Beckmann! 🎉 Bringing together labs across 3 European countries and the US, we aim to uncover hidden functions of snoRNPs in ribosome assembly. Go team! tinyurl.com/2e5r57b5

Rapid turnover of glmS mRNA in Bacillus subtilis by 5′–3′ exoribonuclease RNase J is essential for feedback regulation of glucosamine-6-phosphate (Glc…
Ever wondered how several individual RBPs cooperate to repress translation?
Lead by @marcopayr.bsky.social and in great collaboration with @hennig-lab.bsky.social, we simultaneously tracked the binding of several proteins to single mRNA molecules in real-time!

Our new paper is out! Using 19F NMR, we show that Hfq rewires the conformational dynamics of a model sRNA in a site-specific manner. Uridines at the rim undergo faster exchange (~100 μs) than those in the proximal pore (~300 μs). Congrats Elise! 🎉🎉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In a collaboration between the @hennig-lab.bsky.social and @olivierduss.bsky.social labs we revealed how proteins work together to control gene expression through mRNA translation repression! Using single-molecule microscopy, we watched individual molecules in action. doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧵
