Abstract excerpt
tRNA 2-thiouridine synthesizing protein A (TusA), a sulfur-carrier protein, plays a crucial role in tRNA sulfur modification. Several studies have reported that tusA deficiency affects iron-sulfur (Fe-S) homeostasis in addition to tRNA sulfur modification, resulting in pleiotropic phenotypes. In this study, we analyzed the phenotype of tusA-deficient Escherichia coli and its underlying mechanisms. Although the...
