Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial transfer RNA (mt-tRNA) modification determines organelle translation and function. GTPBP3 and MTO1 catalyze 5-taurinomethyluridine (τm5U) modification at wobble uridine of five mt-tRNAs. τm5U hypomodification causes mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, but the underlying pathogenesis and intervention strategy due to GTPBP3 mutations are lacking. In this study, we identify two genetic variants...
