Abstract excerpt
The fidelity of initiator tRNA (i-tRNA) selection in the ribosomal P-site is a key step in translation initiation. The highly conserved three consecutive G:C base pairs (3GC pairs) in the i-tRNA anticodon stem play a crucial role in its selective binding in the P-site. Mutations in the 3GC pairs (3GC mutant) render the i-tRNA inactive in initiation. Here, we show that a mutation (E265K) in the unique C-terminal...
