Transfer RNA - The official account

Hi there! The official Twitter account for transfer RNA biology has been released! Interested?! Then, follow up and stay tuned on the topic 👍

We present i-tRAP (individual tRNA acylation PCR), a simple and convenient method for analyzing tRNA charging levels. This method quantifies tRNA charging of a specific isoacceptor bit.ly/3P0WCTM

Last weeks #immunometabolism findings @ImmunoMet @Bims_BiomedNews ⬇️⬇️⬇️ biomed.news/bims-imicid/20… My highlights: I) Itaconate biosensor II) Glutamyl-prolyl tRNA synthetase 1 regulation of AKT and anti-inflammatory cytokines III) Adipose tissue macrophages and iron metabolism

Our newest paper in Biochemistry finally balances the reaction catalyzed by the tRNA-modifying radical SAM enzyme TYW1 showing that carbon dioxide is the second product and that the auxiliary cluster serves as an oxidant. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

RMT rna polymerase I - synthesizes precursors of rRNA rna polymerase II - synthesizes precursors of mRNA rna polymerase III - synthesizes precursors of tRNA

tRNA methylation by TrmD and codon usage in E. coli. "m1G37 neutralizes differential translation of proline codons by the major isoacceptor. Lack of m1G37 inactivates this neutralization and exposes the need for a minor isoacceptor for cell viability" cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Very excited to finally announce this generous support from @afspnational … hoping to uncover novel molecular signatures of suicide in brain using a multiomics approach centered on tRNA regulation! afsp.org/grant/characte…

I bought this Halloween decoration, but all I keep seeing is a tRNA.

How do ribosomes know where to start? The first methionyl-tRNA 🟡 is positioned over the mRNA by the Initiation factors. 🟢🔵🟠 This complex scans along the mRNA until it reaches the start codon, permitting the large subunit to join. (Human PDB 6ZMW) #blender #animation #b3d

So proud of Chaiwei Tai who presented a beautiful oration seminar @Bio21Institute yesterday on her work on targeting aminoacyl tRNA synthetases in plasmodium and bacteria.

Anita Hopper ends her phenomenal keynote lecture at @RRM_RNA with a model for tRNA introns as new small non coding RNAs.

『mRNAへの不信感』というフレーズが話題になってますが，tRNAやrRNAは信用されているのか，今世紀になってから次々と発見されたRNAはどうなのか，たんに知名度が低いだけなのか

Who TRNA make me a overlay Pc just came in 💰Dm

Fantastic talk by @EvaMariaNovoa at the EMBO Complex Life of RNA Meeting #eesrna .If you are a male and plan to reproduce, watch your diet! Eva will detect your diatary sins in your sperm tRNA 😉

RNA polymerases = RMT ☀️ RNA polymerase I - rRNA ☀️ RNA polymerase II - mRNA ☀️ RNA polymerase III - tRNA

Multiple #tRNA and tRNA-derived RNA related sequencing methods and studies, including AQRNA-seq, our lab's ARM-seq, DM-tRNA-seq, and PANDORA-seq, are highlighted in @NaturePortfolio nature.com/collections/ce…

With a slight 4 month delay, I want to share my first scientific Tweet today. Poster presentation at the 28th tRNA conference at OSU. Excited for the next one in Japan.

Very proud of @LounaFruchard who got the best oral presentation price for her presentation on tRNA queuosine modification and antibiotics, at #SifrARN2022 ☺️ congratulations to all!

We’re delighted to finally release the tRNA neochromosome manuscript into the wild! In this work I share co-first-authorship with @DSchindler_PDR and from which I was supervised by @caiyizhi biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Macrolides work via inhibition of bacterial protein biosynthesis by binding ____________ to the subunit 50S of the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting translocation of peptidyl tRNA.
