Lab’s first pre-print! We found that loss of EF-P and the ABCF-family ATPase YfmR is lethal to B. subtilis due to translation failures during early elongation. Great work Hye-Rim Hong, Cassidy Prince and Dennis Wu! #ribosomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"AlphaFold2 can predict single-mutation effects" has been updated Rather than use pLDDT, which does not work, these authors use a local strain score to predict the effect of mutations biorxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/mirabdi/PDAnal…

Out now in PNASNews we used Tn-seq to identify genetic interactions with EF-P in B. subtilis. We found that 1) the ABCF YfmR (Uup) is required in absence of EF-P in some conditions pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

This is my favorite journal quote to date.

Professor Samantha Prince together with two members of her research team, Timothy Azizkhan ’25 and Luke Gorman ’25, and Cornell Ph.D. candidate, Cassidy R. Prince, wrote a paper entitled, The Effects of 401(k) Vesting Schedules — in numbers. Learn more: bit.ly/3WjsiZY

The evolution and functional significance of the programmed ribosomal frameshift in prfB biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Latest preprint from our lab led by grad student Cassidy Prince and her undergrad mentee Bella Lin. She examines conservation and features of the programmed ribosomal frameshift in prfB. Presented by Cassidy at #GRC stress! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Not for the first time, all Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines this year have been awarded to men

Our timely contribution to the growing body of YebC2/TACO1 literature 🤩! YebC2 is a third factor that prevents ribosome stalling at prolines. Associates with 70S and important for fitness in absence of EF-P and YfmR. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
