The tRNA methyltransferase METTL6 requires seryl-tRNA synthetase for tRNASer targeting
Overexpression of the RNA methyltransferase METTL6 leads to increased proliferation and promotes cancer. Our cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and biochemical analyses reveal that METTL6 requires seryl-tRNA synthetase as a cofactor to efficiently generate 3-methyl-cytosine in serine tRNAs.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
