Where this comes from

Abstract

Protein synthesis regulation constitutes a key node in directing decisions between hematopoietic stemness and differentiation. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Lv et al. (2021) describe a mechanism by which HSCs fine-tune translation rates by controlling 60S and 40S ribosomal subunit joining through targeted degradation of ZNF622 in response to stress.
