The 2017 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Call (MSCA-IF-2017) is now open and we would be happy to talk with any eligible candidates who are interested in working in the cryo-EM field. The Basque country is an exciting and natural place to live and work. The CIC bioGUNE provides excellent facilities for structural biology based projects.
RsgA a control point in 30S subunit maturation
López-Alonso et al have described in Nucleic Acids Research our first high-resolution cryo-EM structure of the 30S-RsgA complex and reveal details of how RsgA may act as a control point to ascertain if the assembling 30S decoding site is properly folded and modified before triggering its own GTPase activity and allowing the 30S subunit to transition into the active pool of subunit .
