The Effect of tRNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> Isopentenylation on Selenoprotein Expression

Transfer RNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> carries multiple post-transcriptional modifications. The A37G mutation in tRNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> abrogates isopentenylation of base 37 and has a profound effect on selenoprotein expression in mice. Patients with a homozygous pathogenic p.R323Q...
