Translational activators align mRNAs at the small mitoribosomal subunit for translation initiation

Mitochondrial translational activators (TAs) facilitate transcript-specific translation. Using selective ribosome profiling and cryo-electron microscopy, the authors show that TAs bind to the 5′ untranslated region of their target transcript to position mitoribosomes for initiation.
