Tryptophan depletion results in tryptophan-to-phenylalanine substitutants
Nature, 2022 AbstractActivated T cells secrete interferon-γ, which triggers intracellular tryptophan shortage by upregulating the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) enzyme1–4. Here we show that despite tryptophan depletion, in-frame protein synthesis continues across tryptophan codons.
