Our preprint reporting the structure and mechanism of the natural product translation inhibitors paenilamicins is out…completely novel binding site on the ribosome! dlvr.it/T7CNnf…great collaboration with Suessmuth Lab Mankin_Vazquez_Lab


Together with the amazing Beckmann Lab, we have uncovered that tigecycline not only blocks A-site tRNA binding but also directly binds to the PTC on the human 55S mitoribosome. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Protein synthesis in Bacillus subtilis: resolution of ribosomal stalls by ABCFs YdiF, YfmM, YfmR/Uup and YkpA/YbiT, EF-P loosing its modification but not its functionality, and a genetic interaction between EF-P and BipA! Out in Nucleic Acids Res academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Authors including Jingdong Cheng report cryo-EM structures revealing how antibiotic tigecycline can also target human mitoribosome. nature.com/articles/s4146…






We’ve captured the splitting image of Slh1: our work on an enzyme that splits collided ribosomes in E. coli is out on bioRxiv! Huge thanks to the Beckmann Lab, Burroughs, and Aravind for a great collaboration. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…






Our latest study, in collaboration with the Hurt lab, Benjamin Lau , Fei Xavier Chen and Reinhard Lührmann, reveals how DHX35 and GPATCH1 work together to reject aberrant splicing substrates, ensuring splicing fidelity. #CryoEM #Splicing #Spliceosome nature.com/articles/s4142…

Jingdong Cheng's lab elucidates how DHX35 helicase and its cofactor GPATCH1 proofread an aberrant 5’ splice site in a catalytically activated spliceosome by unwinding the U2 RNA-branch site helix, ensuring splicing fidelity. 🔗nature.com/articles/s4142… FuDan University
