Abstract excerpt
Modification of tRNA anticodons plays a critical role in ensuring accurate translation. N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is present at the anticodon first position (position 34) of bacterial elongator tRNAMet. Herein, we identified Bacillus subtilis ylbM (renamed tmcAL) as a novel gene responsible for ac4C34 formation. Unlike general acetyltransferases that use acetyl-CoA, TmcAL activates an acetate ion to form...
