It is always a pleasure to write about epitranscriptomics together with Frank Lyko. Here’s a spotlight on how queuosine and preQ1, two microbial metabolites, shape mammalian protein translation. 👇 👇 👇 authors.elsevier.com/c/1mCYm5WXUl... Dec 3, 2025, 8:37 AM

Queuosine is incorporated into precursor tRNA before splicing - Nature Communications

tRNA modifications are essential for function, yet their timing relative to processing is unclear. Here, the authors show that queuosine and derivative modifications occur before splicing of pre-tRNA^...

Interplay Between tRNA Modifications and Processing

Transfer RNAs play a key role during protein synthesis by decoding genetic information at the translating ribosome. During their biosynthesis, tRNA mo…
