Happy to share our new preprint on the mechanism of human tRNA 3' CCA maturation! This project was spearheaded by Bernhard Kuhle in my group, with contributions from many others and a great collaboration with the group of Peter Rehling (UMG). See highlights below! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Long in the making, but happy to present the Chlamydomonas chlororibosome! Cryo-ET🔬reveals a large new domain on the small subunit, built from multiple extensions in conserved ribosomal proteins. bioRxiv 📖: shorturl.at/q44tG This suggests greater chlororibosome diversity than expected! 1/n 🧵

Our new preprint is out 🥳🥳🥳 Henipaviruses, like Nipah and Hendra, package their genomes inside helical shells built by thousands of nucleoproteins. These nucleocapsids are essential to protect the viral RNA, but how do they ever let the polymerase in to read the sequence? 👇

We are looking for motivated #postdocs to join the lab! Biochemistry/microbiology/cryo-EM experience? Excited by #cryo-EM/ET, #chromatin? ❄️🧬🧫 Interdisciplinary projects, top EMBL facilities! Email CV + short cover letter → [email protected] Info about the group: www.embl.org/groups/dodon...

Join us as a colleague in Göttingen!

www.nature.com/articles/s41... anything that mitochondria are not involved?

Our story about FASTKD5 is now published at @narjournal.bsky.social It was an amazing collaboration with @haukehillen.bsky.social and Toni Barrientos’ labs. doi.org/10.1093/nar/... FASTKD5 processes mitochondrial pre-mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites

Join us for the 1st Symposium on Interconnections and Cross-Regulation of Gene Expression Processes this September in Göttingen! Great Lineup of international speakers and plenty of opportunities for early career researchers to present & discuss their work! Link: sfb1565.uni-goettingen.de/symposion/

We are looking for new colleagues! UMG has an open call for five (!!) new junior group leaders with the broad topic of "metabolic plasticity" - generous startup package, great infrastructure and a thriving research community in Göttingen. Click here to apply by June 30th: tinyurl.com/4hud95rn

Join us at the EMBO/FEBS lecture course: The evolving role of mitochondria in metabolism 14 – 18 September 2025 | Belgrade, Serbia: meetings.embo.org/event/25-mit...

🚨 Join us for the @faseborg.bsky.social Meeting on Mechanisms of Mitochondrial DNA Mutation and Repair, June 1 - 5, 2025 | Nashville, Tennessee. 📅 Abstract submission & Early Registration close on April 20, 2025! Don't miss out: events.faseb.org/event/mitoch... Please re-post!

Happy to share out latest collaborative work with the groups of Ricarda Richter-Dennerlein and Peter Rehling just out in @natcomms.nature.com. Great work led by two very talented PhD students - Franziska Finke (our lab) and Marleen Heinrichs (Richter-Dennerlein lab). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper out from the Falkenberg and Gustafsson labs. Thanks to Pretzel for a successful collaboration. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The final version of our work on the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain is now online in @science.org 🎉 You can find the full story here www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @verenaresch.bsky.social did a wonderful job on the cover and animation, she really brought it to life 👩‍🎨

The peer-revied version of our paper on the structure of the Nipah virus RNA polymerase in complex with RNA is out in @naturecomms.bsky.social. Congratulations to first-author @salafernanda.bsky.social and many thanks to the reviewers for their constructive comments! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One enzyme, two mechanisms: A team led by @haukehillen.bsky.social from our institute and the University Medical Center Göttingen has uncovered how the 3’ ends of tRNAs are trimmed in the nucleus and mitochondria. ⬇️ www.mpinat.mpg.de/4919943/m_2503
