Abstract excerpt
The selenocysteine (Sec) tRNA[Ser]Sec population in higher vertebrates consists of two major isoacceptors that differ from each other by a single nucleoside modification in the wobble position of the anticodon (position 34). One isoacceptor contains 5-methylcarboxymethyluridine (mcmU) in this position, whereas the other contains 5-methylcarboxymethyluridine-2'-O-methylribose (mcmUm). The other modifications in...
