Key result
Certain newly forming peptides are able to halt the ribosome from within to control gene expression.
Highlights mechanisms by which newly forming peptides regulate ribosome function and gene expression.
What regulates the ribosome, the protein synthesis factory of the cell? In a Perspective, [Sachs and Geballe][1] discuss new findings ([Gong and Yanofsky][2]) that reveal how certain newly forming peptides are able to halt the ribosome from within, for the purpose of controlling gene expression.
