Abstract excerpt
Bacterial tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (Tgt) is involved in the biosynthesis of the modified tRNA nucleoside queuosine present in the anticodon wobble position of tRNAs specific for aspartate, asparagine, histidine, and tyrosine. Inactivation of the tgt gene leads to decreased pathogenicity of Shigella bacteria. Therefore, Tgt constitutes a putative target for Shigellosis drug therapy. Since it is only active as...
