Co-translational protein targeting to membranes relies on the signal recognition particle (SRP) system consisting of a cytosolic ribonucleoprotein complex and its membrane-associated receptor. SRP recognizes N-terminal cleavable signals or signal anchor sequences, retards translation, and delivers ribosome-nascent chain complexes (RNCs) to vacant translocation channels in the target membrane. While our mechanistic understanding is well advanced for the small bacterial systems it lags behind for the large bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic SRP variants including an Alu and an S domain. Here we describe recent advances on structural and functional insights in domain architecture, particle dynamics and interplay with RNCs and translocon and GTP-dependent regulation of co-translational protein targeting stimulated by SRP RNA.

The MED13L Foundation, Barrington, NJ, USA.
A strategic research plan (SRP) serves as a compass for the patient advocacy organizations driving the therapeutic options for their rare disorder. The MED13L Foundation commissioned the SRP in 2022 through COMBINEDBrain, a consortium of patient advocacy organizations of rare neurodevelopmental disorders, working toward clinical trial readiness. The MED13L Foundation SRP is an objective evaluation of MED13L literature including clinical and basic science knowledge interwoven with an assessment of preclinical trial readiness tools necessary for achieving therapeutic interventions.

In the last three decades, the Steered Response Power (SRP) method has been widely used for the task of Sound Source Localization (SSL), due to its satisfactory localization performance on moderately reverberant and noisy scenarios. Many works have analysed and extended the original SRP method to reduce its computational cost, to allow it to locate multiple sources, or to improve its performance in adverse environments. In this work, we review over 200 papers on the SRP method and its variants, with emphasis on the SRP-PHAT method.

To eliminate vertical HIV transmission and achieve therapy-free viral suppression among children living with HIV, novel strategies beyond antiretroviral therapy (ART) are necessary. Our group previously identified a triple broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) combination comprising of 3BNC117, PGDM1400 and PGT151 that mediates robust in vitro neutralization and non-neutralizing effector functions against a cross-clade panel of simian human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs). In this study, we evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral potency of this bNAb combination in infant rhesus macaques (RMs).

The unfolded protein response (UPR) relieves endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress through multiple strategies, including reducing protein synthesis, increasing protein folding capabilities, and enhancing misfolded protein degradation. After a multi-omics analysis, we find that signal recognition particle 14 (SRP14), an essential component of the SRP, is markedly reduced in cells undergoing ER stress. Further experiments indicate that SRP14 reduction requires PRKR-like ER kinase (PERK)-mediated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation but is independent of ATF4 or ATF3 transcription factors.

Background: Limited understanding of the diversity of variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene across ancestries hampers efforts to advance molecular diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF). The consequences pose a risk of delayed diagnoses and subsequently worsened health outcomes for patients. Therefore, characterizing the spectrum of CFTR variants across ancestries is critical for revolutionizing molecular diagnoses of CF.
