Lovely work! Yeast polytopic proteins have fewer ribosomes than soluble proteins doi.org/10.1016/j.cu... likely reducing ribosome collisions. I wonder if you separate polytopics from single-pass MPs you see differences in codon use. We wondered about initiation but maybe codon use is also important.

Go check out the latest preprint from Giulia Zanetti's lab. @dr-downes.bsky.social used cryo-tomography to directly visualize COPI and COPII coated vesicles in situ at unprecedented resolution in human cells. Amazingly beautiful, rigorous, insightful work.

I think it's a clamp. Provides structural rigidity but via protein-protein interfaces so it might be dynamic/malleable. Four complexes (so far - not privilege to Alex's info): Sec31 (the OG and only essential function in yeast), Sec16 (function unknown), NPC, GATOR.
