Protein synthesis in Giardia with cryo-EM
2023-03-17
Giardia is a protozoan parasite that causes harmful diarrhea to mammals including human. Suparna Sanyal’s group has recently solved Giardia ribosome structures in various states of protein synthesis using cryo-Electron Microscopy. Important is that these are all native structures achieved without using any inhibitor, analogues or mutation. The study, conducted in collaboration with Staffan Svärd group is published in Nucleic Acids Research.

Sanyal group reveals the mechanism of fidelity in translation by studying the mode of error induction by the anti-TB antibiotic viomycin
A new study from Sanyal lab reveals how the anti-tuberculosis antibiotic viomycin induces error in translation during decoding of the genetic code on mRNA. Applying pre steady state kinetics to a fully reconstituted bacterial translation system this study delineates the actual mechanism of accurate decoding on the ribosome and puts it into the structural context, which is the added significance.
