The autism susceptibility kinase, TAOK2, phosphorylates eEF2 and modulates translation

Genes implicated in translation control have been associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, some important genetic causes of autism, including the 16p11.2 microdeletion, bear no obvious connection to translation. Here, we use proteomics, g ...

V-ATPase/TORC1-mediated ATFS-1 translation directs mitochondrial UPR activation in C. elegans

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Felix Naef, Xiaoxu Li, Jia Liu, Hao Li, Wen Gao, Nagammal Neelagandan, Yang Li, Amélia Lalou

To adapt mitochondrial function to the ever-changing intra- and extracellular environment, multiple mitochondrial stress response (MSR) pathways, including the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), have evolved. However, how the mitochondrial st ...

Pum2 and TDP-43 refine area-specific cytoarchitecture post-mitotically and modulate translation of Sox5, Bcl11b, and Rorb mRNAs in developing mouse neocortex

Nagammal Neelagandan

In the neocortex, functionally distinct areas process specific types of information. Area identity is established by morphogens and transcriptional master regulators, but downstream mechanisms driving area-specific neuronal specification remain unclear. He ...

Robust landscapes of ribosome dwell times and aminoacyl-tRNAs in response to nutrient stress in liver

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Nagammal Neelagandan

Translation depends on messenger RNA (mRNA)-specific initiation, elongation, and termination rates. While translation elongation is well studied in bacteria and yeast, less is known in higher eukaryotes. Here we combined ribosome and transfer RNA (tRNA) pr ...

What determines eukaryotic translation elongation: recent molecular and quantitative analyses of protein synthesis

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Nagammal Neelagandan

Protein synthesis from mRNA is an energy-intensive and tightly controlled cellular process. Translation elongation is a well-coordinated, multifactorial step in translation that undergoes dynamic regulation owing to cellular state and environmental determi ...
