Abstract

Global translational remodeling has emerged as a principal mechanism of biological adaptation. Oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) disables the basal protein synthesis machinery (‘Jekyll’) and activates a hypoxic translational architecture (‘Hyde’) to drive translatome remodeling. Independent from mRNA-level fluctuations, this newer paradigm modernizes a field traditionally dominated by the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcriptional program.
