Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on the relationship between mRNA translation and decay in human cells, specifically highlighting the role of the cytoplasmic exosome in degrading mRNA linked to ribosomes during quality control.
  • - Researchers identified that HBS1L3 (SKI7) facilitates a direct physical coupling between EXO10 and the ribosome-bound SKI238 complex, enabling efficient mRNA handover for degradation.
  • - They discovered that the decay process involves a supercomplex formed by the exosome and ribosome, allowing mRNA to be efficiently threaded from the ribosome through the helicase to the exoribonuclease, effectively coordinating the decay mechanism.
