Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations in the cdk5 regulator associated protein 1-like 1 (cdkal1) gene have been identified in whole genome association studies as a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). A recent study showed that Cdkal1 was a mammalian methythiotransferase, which specifically synthesizes 2-methylthio-N (6)-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (ms (2)t (6)A) at position 37 of tRNA(lys)(UUU). The ms (2)t...
