Methylated nucleosides in tRNA and tRNA methyltransferases [PDF]
To date, more than 90 modified nucleosides have been found in tRNA and the biosynthetic pathways of the majority of tRNA modifications include a methylation step(s).

Disrupted tRNA Genes and tRNA Fragments: A Perspective on tRNA Gene Evolution [PDF]
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs with lengths of approximately 70–100 nt. They are directly involved in protein synthesis by carrying amino acids to the ribosome.

Extracellular tRNAs and tRNA-derived fragments [PDF]
Fragmentation of tRNAs generates a family of small RNAs collectively known as tRNA-derived fragments. These fragments vary in sequence and size but have been shown to regulate many processes involved in cell homoeostasis and adaptations to stress. Additionally, the field of extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) is rapidly growing because exRNAs are a promising ...

The dysregulation of tRNAs and tRNA derivatives in cancer [PDF]
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs), traditionally considered to participate in protein translation, were interspersed in the entire genome. Recent studies suggested that dysregulation was observed in not only tRNAs, but also tRNA derivatives generated by the specific cleavage of pre- and mature tRNAs in the progression of cancer.

On the mechanism of tRNA methylase-tRNA recognition [PDF]
In order to further elucidate the mechanism of tRNA methylase-tRNA intreaction the methylation of some individual tRNAs separately and by pairs was performed. In conditions of tRNA excess the methylation rates of positionally analogous nucleotides in tRNA molecules are not summed up when two substrates are simultaneously present in the reaction mixture.

tRNA Recognition by Glutamyl-tRNA Reductase [PDF]
During the first step of porphyrin biosynthesis in Archaea, most bacteria, and in chloroplasts glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of glutamyl-tRNA to glutamate-1-semialdehyde. Elements in tRNA(Glu) important for utilization by Escherichia coli GluTR were determined by kinetic analysis of 51 variant transcripts of E.

The 20th International tRNA Workshop 2003 was held in Kloster Banz, an old monastery with a fateful history dating back to the eighth century. On the scientific time scale, the International tRNA Workshop has a history almost as long and eventful as Kloster Banz, with its first celebration in Cambridge, UK, in 1969.

Two recently published papers (Takano et al., 2005 and Shaheen and Hopper, 2005) demonstrate that in S. cerevisiae, cytoplasmic tRNAs can be transported into the nucleus. This retrograde movement may expose mature tRNAs to nuclear proofreading or it may regulate tRNA availability in response to amino acid availability.

Delicate variances in the translational machinery affect how efficiently different organisms approach protein synthesis. Determining the scale of this effect, however, requires knowledge on the differences of mistranslation levels.

Phenylalanyl‐tRNA, Lysyl‐tRNA, Isoleucyl‐tRNA and Arginyl‐tRNA Synthetases [PDF]
Ten analogs of ATP have been tested in the ATP/PPi exchange reaction of Phenylalanyl‐tRNA, lysyl‐tRNA, isoleucyl‐tRNA and arginyl‐tRNA synthetases from baker's yeast. Three compounds are substrates for Phenylalanyl‐tRNA, seven for lysyl‐tRNA, two for isoleucyl‐tRNA and five for arginyl‐tRNA synthetase. Their Km and V values have been determined.
