The Ban Lab

New paper out in Mol Cell, where we show how N-myristolytransferases lipidate proteins on the translating ribosome! Continuing our successful collaboration with @DeuerlingLab & Shu-ou Shan @Caltech @snsf_ch @ETH_en cell.com/molecular-cell…

Nice collaboration with the Gatfield lab, providing new insights into the regulation of reinitiation on human mRNAs: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

In our new study we reveal how NAC coordinates and regulates successive co-translational nascent chain ⛓️ processing on the mammalian ribosome out today in @Nature rdcu.be/dRAQY collab with @DeuerlingLab Shu-ou Shan @Caltech @snsf_ch @ERC_Research @ETH_en

New job opportunity in the Ban Lab: experimental biochemist 🧑‍🔬 with a Master’s or a PhD degree to support lab operations. For more info see: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_…

A highly optimized human in vitro translation system dlvr.it/T5Ncw2

We have optimized a human in-vitro translation system (HITS) for use in #ribosome research Our HITS: 🧪requires a minimal number of components 💵is cheap & easy to prepare 💡enables cap-dependent translation 📈is highly active online now: bit.ly/49xTdVa @CellRepMethods

Review by @The_Ban_Lab (@ETH_DBIOL, @ETH_en) & Karousis Lab (@RNAkook, @DCBPunibern, @unibern on "#Coronavirus takeover of #host cell #translation and intracellular antiviral response: a molecular perspective" @embojournal @KathaSchubert bit.ly/3VEZwCS

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is one of the largest protein complexes known and a key metabolic mega-enzyme. Check out our paper on the mechanism behind its architecture just published in Science Advances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

One more in our RNA review series! @The_Ban_Lab discuss the unique molecular features of coronaviruses that enable them to commandeer host cell mRNA translation while avoiding intracellular immune defense responses embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
