Researchers have made discoveries related to the structure and function of mitochondrial translation, including the role of TACO1 in efficient translation and the regulation of ribosome decoding speed. The assembly of the mitoribosomal large subunit has also been studied, shedding light on late maturation steps. Additionally, the loss of TACO1 has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction in mice.
