1/ Hi everyone! I am beyond excited to share this. The main project of my postdoc work @casanova_lab is now out and published @CellCellPress ( https://t.co/ldcOW3nsCF). This is a big international collaboration and I have many people to thank (at the end of the thread).

It was great few days in Baltimore to celebrate 25 years of @GreenLabJHMI and see Rachel as well as almost all former members of Gang Green. Looking forward for the many more celebrations and achievements of Gang Green. Photos from celebration will follow at @GreenLabJHMI

A wonderful collaborative effort with Peter Walter @UCSF @stephenfloor @Lan_Wang_ @KroganLab @dlswaney led us to discover that Legionella toxin SidI possesses a tRNA-like shape and glycosylates the translation machinery to induce ribotoxic stress https://t.co/Dnhjeu6vy5

Happy to see this in the published version! Cheers to the team! @hanna_kratzat, @annie_campb, @R_Buschauer, Otto, Max, Aravind, @GreenLabJHMI, @BeckmannLab, Allen!
The cutting edge: in bacteria, ribosome stalling leads to collisions that recruit SmrB, cleaving mRNA and initiating ribosome rescue. Great collaboration with the amazing @BeckmannLab! Read the published version here: https://t.co/cKZnXrEPOa

The paper from Tom Dever's lab and @GreenLabJHMI showing Hox genes have much shorter UTRs (w/o IRESes) and conserved inhibitory uORFs is out! Congrats Ivaylo et al.!
