Abstract excerpt
Aminoacylation and editing by leucyl-tRNA synthetases (LeuRS) require migration of the tRNA acceptor stem end between the canonical aminoacylation core and a separate domain called CP1 that is responsible for amino acid editing. The LeuRS CP1 domain can also support group I intron RNA splicing in the yeast mitochondria, although splicing-sensitive sites have been identified on the main body. The RDW peptide, a...
