The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...
Most RNA modification enzymes recognize the three-dimensional structure around the target site of RNA and only rarely the RNA sequence itself. To investigate the substrate RNA specificity of ArcS, ...
In all living organisms, the biomolecule transfer RNA (tRNA) plays a fundamental role in protein production. tRNAs are generated from precursor molecules in several steps. The enzyme tRNA splicing ...
A groundbreaking study has shed light on the critical role of a tRNA methylation enzyme, TRMT10A, in supporting brain function. The findings reveal how the absence of TRMT10A leads to a reduction in ...
Loss of TRMT10A led to a decrease in the levels of initiator methionine tRNA (tRNA iMet) and a specific glutamine tRNA (tRNA Gln). This reduction weakened the initiation of protein synthesis for ...
