Finally out in @Cellcellpress!
Proteins with long IDRs are prone to misfolding during protein synthesis.
This is prevented by mRNA 3โฒUTRs that act as mRNA-based IDR chaperones.

โ ๏ธ Last call for #PGRP2026!
Tomorrow (5 June) is the final day to:
๐ค Submit an abstract for consideration for an oral presentation
๐๏ธ Register at the early bird rate
If you've been meaning to register or submit your work, now is the time! ๐ฑ
See you at #PGRP2026
Oh this is so good, please read it.
"If we want literate citizens, we will have to rebuild the conditions for literacy deliberately, against the grain of every incentive currently pointed the other way. I know the academy has the will to do that. It also has the obligation." ๐
Highly conserved mRNA 3โฒ UTRs act as co-translational chaperones for intrinsically
disordered regions (IDRs), preventing inter-domain misfolding and enabling biogenesis
of fully active proteins.
New visiting scholar @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social Iโm trying to convince it to do the postdoc with me ๐ฆ

I know weโve all read 100 articles like this, but I do recommend this one, especially for the series of questions at the end about how universities (not individual instructors) could change our practice. Iโd love to discuss those

The generational collapse in literacy is measurable, persistent, and likely to get worse.
