Selective targeting of type II tRNAs underlies SLFN14-mediated translational repression and its dysregulation by thrombocytopenia-linked mutations
2026-02-04
Abstract excerpt
Schlafens (SLFNs) are interferon-inducible regulators of RNA metabolism and cell fate. SLFN14 is a ribosome-associated endoribonuclease whose pathogenic variants cause autosomal dominant inherited thrombocytopenia (IT), but the underlying disease mechanism has been unclear. We show that SLFN14 represses global protein synthesis through selective cleavage of type II tRNAs. IT-linked mutations alter RNA substrate sp...
