And here goes another one - @rtg2355.bsky.social-member Fabienne Becker from the Friedhoff lab presented her research at the 2025 Helicase Conference in Lisbon today: "The Conserved C-terminal Domain of Tho1 Stimulates the DEAD-box Helicase Sub2" - more coming soon #proudCoordinator 😉

We are excited to share the work of Nataliia Stefanyshena who showed that maintenance of an optimal Mex67 level in nuclear mRNPs is required for efficient mRNA export: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
An elevated level of the mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 in nuclear mRNPs impairs nuclear mRNA export
In eukaryotes, a crucial step in gene expression is the export of the mRNA out of nucleus. The conserved mRNA exporter Mex67-Mtr2 (NXF1-NXT1 in human) is a key factor in this process. In S. cerevisiae...
