摘要:
Transfer RNA modification improves the rate of aa-tRNA selection at the A-site and the fitness in the P-site and thereby prevents frameshifting according to a new model how frameshifting occurs [Qian et al. (1998) Mel. Cell 1, 471-482]. Evidence that the presence of various modified nucleosides in tRNA also influences central metabolism, thiamine metabolism, and bacterial virulence is reviewed, (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
