The landscape of translational stall sites in bacteria revealed by monosome and disome profiling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ribosome pauses are associated with various cotranslational events and determine the fate of mRNAs and proteins. Thus, the identification of precise pause sites across the transcriptome is desirable; however, the landscape of ribosome pauses in bacteria remains ambiguous. Here, we harness monosome and disome (or collided ribosome) profiling strategies to survey ribosome pause sites in Escherichia coli . Compared to eukaryotes, ribosome collisions in bacteria showed remarkable differences: a low frequency of disomes at stop codons, collisions occurring immediately after 70S assembly on start codons, and shorter queues of ribosomes trailing upstream. The pause sites corresponded with the biochemical validation by integrated nascent chain profiling (iNP) to detect polypeptidyl-tRNA, an elongation intermediate. Moreover, the subset of those sites showed puromycin resistance, presenting slow peptidyl transfer. Among the identified sites, the ribosome pause at Asn586 of ycbZ was validated by biochemical reporter assay, tRNA sequencing (tRNA-seq), and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) experiments. Our results provide a useful resource for ribosome stalling sites in bacteria.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
