Abstract excerpt
tRNAs are highly modified, each with a unique set of modifications. Several reports suggest that tRNAs are hypomodified or, in some cases, hypermodified under different growth conditions and in certain cancers. We previously demonstrated that yeast strains depleted of tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase accumulate uncharged tRNA(His) lacking the G(-1) residue and subsequently accumulate additional 5-methylcytidine...
