Nature research paper: SNOR promotes translation restart after dormancy
go.nature.com/3RnxFqG
Always good to remember that the PDB sequence of a structure is not always the sequence of the protein made nor the sequence of the protein analyzed, its the sequence of the protein a human remembered to type in.
Excited to share our work uncovering SNOR, a ribosome-associated factor that promotes translation restart after dormancy published in Nature!! This was, as usual, a wonderful collaborative effort between our group and the Mattei Lab @simonemattei.bsky.social @embl.org www.nature.com/articles/s41...

High-resolution in situ cryo-electron tomography in Schizosaccharomyces pombe identifies SNOR protein, which binds to ribosomes during dormancy induced by glucose depletion, priming them for rapid reactivation of protein synthesis upon glucose repletion.
