Abstract excerpt
Accuracy in protein biosynthesis is maintained through multiple pathways, with a critical checkpoint occurring at the tRNA aminoacylation step catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs). In addition to the editing functions inherent to some synthetases, single-domain trans-editing factors, which are structurally homologous to ARS editing domains, have evolved as alternative mechanisms to correct mistakes in...
