tRNA-modifying enzyme mutations induce codon-specific mistranslation and protei...
Tavares, Joana F.; Davis, Nick K.; Poim, Ana; Reis, Andreia; Kellner, Stefanie; Sousa, Inês; Soares, Ana R.; Moura, Gabriela M. R.; Dedon, Peter C.Protein synthesis rate and accuracy are tightly controlled by the cell and are essential for proteome homoeostasis (proteostasis); however, the full picture of how mRNA translational factors maintain protein synthesis accuracy and co-translational protein folding are far from being fully understood. To address this question, we evaluated the role of 70 yeast tRNA-modifying enzyme genes on protein aggregation an...
Conserved and highly expressed tRNA derived fragments in zebrafish
Soares, Ana Raquel; Fernandes, Noémia; Reverendo, Marisa; Araújo, Hugo Rafael; Oliveira, José Luís; Moura, Gabriela M. R.; Santos, Manuel A. S.Background: Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are a class of transcripts implicated in several eukaryotic regulatory mechanisms, namely gene silencing and chromatin regulation. Despite significant progress in their identification by next generation sequencing (NGS) we are still far from understanding their full diversity and functional repertoire. Results: Here we report the identification of tRNA derived fragmen...
