Algal blooms drive global biogeochemical cycles of key nutrients and serve as hotspots for biological interactions in the ocean. The massive blooms of the cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi are often infected by the lytic E. huxleyi virus, which is a major mortality agent triggering bloom demise.

Article Synopsis
  • * Mutations in specific residues of RPS3 (R116, R146, and K148) revealed differing impacts on translation initiation, start-codon accuracy, and gene translation patterns, especially for mRNAs with long 5'UTRs.
  • * RPS3's interaction with mRNA is crucial for SARS-CoV-2's ability to inhibit host translation and its mRNA stability, highlighting its role in viral manipulation of host cellular mechanisms.
