Abstract excerpt
In all organisms, transfer RNAs (tRNAs) undergo extensive post-transcriptional modifications. Although base modifications in the anticodon are known to alter decoding specificity or improve decoding accuracy, much less is known about the functional relevance of modifications in other positions of tRNAs. Here, we report the identification of an A-to-I tRNA editing enzyme that modifies the tRNA-Ala(AGC) in the...
