Do all modifications benefit all tRNAs?

FEBS Letters
Eric M Phizicky, Juan D Alfonzo

Abstract

Despite the universality of tRNA modifications, some tRNAs lacking specific modifications are subject to degradation pathways, while other tRNAs lacking the same modifications are resistant. Here, we suggest a model in which some modifications have minor, possibly redundant, roles in specific tRNAs. This model is consistent with the low specificity of some modification enzymes. Limitations of this model include the limited assays and growth conditions on which these conclusions are based, as well as the high specificity exhibited by many modification enzymes with important roles in translation. The specificity of these enzymes is often enhanced by complex substrate recognition patterns and sub-cellular compartmentalization.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.
