Interactions between nascent proteins translated by adjacent ribosomes drive homomer assembly

M Bertolini, K Fenzl, I Kats, F Wruck, F Tippmann… - Science, 2021 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Most newly synthesized proteins associate into macromolecular complexes
to become functional. Complex formation requires that subunits find each other in the …

[PDF][PDF] Selective 40S footprinting reveals cap-tethered ribosome scanning in human cells

J Bohlen, K Fenzl, G Kramer, B Bukau, AA Teleman - Molecular cell, 2020 - cell.com
Translation regulation occurs largely during the initiation phase. Here, we develop selective
40S footprinting to visualize initiating 40S ribosomes on endogenous mRNAs in vivo. This …

[HTML][HTML] DENR promotes translation reinitiation via ribosome recycling to drive expression of oncogenes including ATF4

…, S Blanco, K Clemm von Hohenberg, K Fenzl… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Translation efficiency varies considerably between different mRNAs, thereby impacting
protein expression. Translation of the stress response master-regulator ATF4 increases upon …

[HTML][HTML] Mislocalization of pathogenic RBM20 variants in dilated cardiomyopathy is caused by loss-of-interaction with Transportin-3

J Kornienko, M Rodríguez-Martínez, K Fenzl… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Severe forms of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are associated with point mutations in the
alternative splicing regulator RBM20 that are frequently located in the arginine/serine-rich …

[PDF][PDF] Nα-terminal acetylation of proteins by NatA and NatB serves distinct physiological roles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

UA Friedrich, M Zedan, B Hessling, K Fenzl, L Gillet… - Cell reports, 2021 - cell.com
N-terminal (Nt) acetylation is a highly prevalent co-translational protein modification in
eukaryotes, catalyzed by at least five Nt acetyltransferases (Nats) with differing specificities. Nt …

Disome selective profiling identifies nascent chain dimerization as a prevalent co-translational assembly mechanism in human cells

K Fenzl - 2021 - archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de
The formation of multi-protein complexes is a key feature of the cellular proteome in all kingdoms
of life. The biogenesis of protein complexes in vivo is still poorly understood, but recent …

Co-translational ribosome pairing enables native assembly of misfolding-prone subunits

F Wruck, J Schmitt, K Fenzl, M Bertolini, A Katranidis… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Protein complexes are pivotal to most cellular processes. Emerging evidence indicates that
pairs of ribosomes ubiquitously drive the synchronized synthesis and assembly of two …

Selective 40S footprinting reveals that scanning ribosomes remain cap-tethered in human cells

J Bohlen, K Fenzl, G Kramer, B Bukau, AA Teleman - BioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
Translation regulation occurs largely during initiation. Currently, translation initiation can be
studied in vitro, but these systems lack features present in vivo and on endogenous mRNAs. …

Cell sorters see things more clearly now

D Schraivogel, LM Steinmetz - Molecular Systems Biology, 2023 - embopress.org
Microscopy and fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) are two of the most important
tools for single‐cell phenotyping in basic and biomedical research. Microscopy provides high‐…

[HTML][HTML] Quantitative infection dynamics of cafeteria Roenbergensis virus

BP Taylor, JS Weitz, CPD Brussaard, MG Fischer - Viruses, 2018 - mdpi.com
… We acknowledge Karina Barenhoff and Alexa Weinmann for technical assistance, Kai
Fenzl for performing qPCR experiments, Guanlin Li for a review of code, and two anonymous …
