Publications
-
The tRNA-modifying function of MnmE is controlled by post-hydrolysis steps of its GTPase cycle.
-
The output of the tRNA modification pathways controlled by the Escherichia coli MnmEG and MnmC enzymes depends on the growth conditions and the tRNA species.
-
The ROS-sensitive microRNA-9/9* controls the expression of mitochondrial tRNA-modifying enzymes and is involved in the molecular mechanism of MELAS syndrome.
