Hi, I am Elke Deuerling. Great that our lab https://t.co/ioCrc3zPoF is now on Twitter. Our vision is to understand how cells stay fit and healthy and what happens during aging and disease. My great team will keep you updated with lots of interesting news from our lab.

How are proteins in our cells modified while they are still being synthesized? An international team of #UniKonstanz, @Caltech, and @eth_en researchers has deciphered the molecular mechanism of this vital process. Published in @Nature: https://t.co/HSTHXNR3dK

We are delighted to have been a part of this Story and want to thank our collaborators Shu-ou Shan at @Caltech and @The_Ban_Lab at @ETH_en for the awesome work we achieved together.

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 https://t.co/KXdYY1ZVHA collab with @DeuerlingLab Shu-ou Shan @Caltech @snsf_ch @ERC_Research @ETH_en

Special thanks to our invited speakers: @AG_Boettcher @StephanHacker2 @LabJoazeiro @KursadTurgay , Caroline Kisker, Jeff Kelly and Rick Morimoto.

We very much enjoyed hosting the final SFB CRC969 Symposium in Konstanz. Thanks to all the speakers, poster presenters, and participants. It was great to see how amazing science, both chemistry and biology from @UniKonstanz, has shaped the understanding of #proteostasis.

Available now - the Review "#Cotranslational sorting and processing of newly synthesized proteins in eukaryotes" from Martin Gamerdinger and Elke @DeuerlingLab. #NacentpolypeptideAssociatedComplex #SignalRecognitionParticle #RibosomeAssociatedComplex https://t.co/wO8M2ONzKB

Time to say goodbye! Megan from the @ASU got the @DAAD_Germany rise scholarship to work 2.5 month in our lab. She worked together with @DahlemCarla on the project of ribosome biogenesis in E.coli. We loved having you in the lab and hope to see you again in the future.

Congratulation, Laurenz!

What an honor!

We are thrilled to announce that Elke was voted to be an #EMBO member. Thank you! What a great honor! https://t.co/8Dkv0UPmOY

Dynamic action of MetAP on the translating ribosome - new paper out in @ScienceMagazine from our beautiful collaboration with @DeuerlingLab! @ETH_DBIOL @NCCR_RNADisease @SNF_ch https://t.co/x2jVECDbQq

@The_Ban_Lab It was a great to collaborate again with the brilliant people at @The_Ban_Lab @ETH_en Min Jia, @matjaskol and @skaiiol as well as @jomaa_lab and Kay Diederichs @UniKonstanz. Thank you to all of you! #ScienceResearch

Structural data by @The_Ban_Lab shows an active methionine excision complex of NAC and MetAP1 on a translating ribosome. This mode of interactions results in an efficient excision of methionine from soluble proteins, whereas proteins targeted to the ER are spared.

Using purified components as well as C. elegans and cell culture mutants we show that NAC recruits MetAP1 to ribosomes for methionine cleavage via an interaction of a conserved hydrophobic motif in NACβ C-term and MetAP1 N-terminal zinc finger in vitro and in vivo.

Check out our new study in @sciencemagazine. We show that NAC controls N-terminal methionine excision by MetAP1 in eukaryotes. Our results suggest a broader mechanism for how access of protein biogenesis factors to the translating ribosome is controlled. https://t.co/PoLECOORJv

We had a great time at the #EMBOproteinQC workshop! Thank you for the opportunity to give flashtalks and present our posters.

Dropping the anchor, how to TRAP a ribosome at the ER membrane! Check out our new study describing a structure of TRAP complex interacting with the ribosome and Sec translocon published today in @NatureSMB https://t.co/L7xw4Q3527

Carneval in Konstanz: Ho Narro!!
