@rachael-kretsch.bsky.social congrats, this is so cool! so wild to think about a nanocage around a ribosome, is there evidence/other precedent for something like that happening, other than the pulldown you cite?
Unfortunately not. The literature on these sequences is very limited and the precedent for a natural RNA-based cage even more limited, maybe RNA that lines inside viral capsids but that has seemed quite a reach for structural homology.
