Effect of mRNA/tRNA mutations on translation speed: Implications for human diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Recent discoveries establish tRNAs as central regulators of mRNA translation dynamics, and therefore cotranslational folding and function of the encoded protein. The tRNA pool, whose composition and abundance change in a cell- and tissue-dependent manner, is the main factor which determines mRNA translation velocity. In this review, we discuss a group of pathogenic mutations, in the coding sequences of either...
