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! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Excited to share my first PhD student’s @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Tracking 5 dyes simultaneously Kavan Gor @embl.org tracks nascent #RNA folding during #ribosome assembly to correlate structural with functional information on single RNA molecules! Check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Travel’s got me wiped, but catching up with @colindascheele.bsky.social, @pierresantucci.bsky.social & @olivierduss.bsky.social at #FEBS2025 made it totally worth it. Huge thanks to Pelin Telkoparan and Dilek Cevik for the wonderful hospitality—what a time in Istanbul!

Excited to share our new @science.org paper! Led by postdocs Ruchao Peng and Xin Xu, we used cryo-EM/ET to reveal the influenza ribonucleoprotein complex structure and its strand-sliding mechanism for RNA synthesis, paving the way for new antivirals. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The timeline of co-transcriptional #mRNA processing and #modification may have to be revised: cleavage, termination, and #m6A deposition may occur earlier than most #splicing! Potential textbook changing study in bioRxiv by edueyras.bsky.social & Rippei Hayashi labs! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Five people have seen a color never before visible to the naked human eye, thanks to a new retinal stimulation technique called Oz. Learn more in #ScienceAdvances: scim.ag/442Hjn6

Check out our preprint at BioRxiv revealing mechanisms of mRNP assembly during translation repression: (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Great collaboration with Olivier Duss (@olivierduss.bsky.social). Great Work Marco Payr (@marcopayr.bsky.social) and thanks for the video, explaining our paper.

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! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great work led by our PhD student Iuliia Kotova in collaboration with Fan Liu @fan-liu.bsky.social, Boris Bogdanow, Lars Mühlberg, and Olivier Duss @olivierduss.bsky.social and Guelsah Gabriel labs. Structural analysis by our PhD student Konstantin Gilep. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The RNA helicase HrpA rescues collided ribosomes in E. coli

In a remarkable new paper, Qureshi and Duss use multi-colour single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to directly and simultaneously track transcription, translation & coupling 3/n www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just published: My (Janosch Hennig) view on the current capabilities of AF3 and similar for RNA and protein-RNA complex structure prediction plus a bit of forward looking: doi.org/10.1002/cbic...

Check it out! Another novel RNA modification - ADP-ribosylation - that was previously only known on proteins. A cousin to #glycoRNA 👏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our new work on the earliest steps of Pol-III transcription: We provide structural and kinetic insights into tRNA promoter engagement by yeast transcription factor TFIIIC ! Cool collaboration with the Müller and Eustermann Labs @embl.org ! academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...

EMBL Group Leader @olivierduss.bsky.social and his research team discovered how two molecular machines in bacteria work together and watched their interactions as a real-time movie. Discover how they put snapshots in motion 👉 www.embl.org/news/science... #MolBiol 🧪 @natureportfolio.bsky.social

First paper of our lab today @natureportfolio.bsky.social by Nussi! We provide a real-time movie on how #transcription and #translation cooperate using #single-molecule FM: we find long-range #ribosome/ RNAP communication mediated by #RNA looping! @embl.org #RNAbiology #RNASky t.co/a24Xxcxdo0

Congratulations, Olivier Duss, Simone Köhler, and Eva Kowalinski! 👏 The three EMBL Group Leaders have received ERC Consolidator Grants #ERCCoG for their innovative research projects aimed at understanding fundamental cellular mechanisms. #MolBiol 🧪👇 Read more here: www.embl.org/news/awards-...

Very grateful to get support from the #ERC Consolidator grant! -to study how #transcription, #translation and #DNA repair cooperate -combining #single-molecule #microscopy in vitro & live cells and #cryoET -obtaining a real-time movie 🎥 🎞️ -hiring soon @embl.org! www.embl.org/news/awards-...

Excited to share our study led by @SakenovaNazgul! We used chemical genetics to identify and understand cross-resistance & collateral-sensitivity (CS) between antibiotics and reduced AMR development with CS drug pairs @embl.org with @camille_goemans @EPFL_en www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share the website of RiboMod2025, the "Conference on Ribosomal RNA modifications and snoRNAs" in Bologna June 12-13, 2025 is up at events.unibo.it/ribomod2025 Stay tune for more infos! #RNA #Ribosome #snoRNA #Eiptranscriptomics

I'm excited to share the preprint for the first chunk of my PhD work! We combined DMS structure probing with nascent RNA enrichment to report high-resolution, dynamic structures of transcripts just after synthesis - inside cells. @karlaneugebauer.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
