tRNA Methylation Resolves Codon Usage Bias at the Limit of Cell Viability

I. Masuda, Y. Yamaki, R. Detroja, S. Tagore, H. Moore, S. Maharjan, Y. Nakano, T. Christian, R. Matsubara, T. M. Lowe, M. Frenkel-Morgenstern, Y.-M. Hou

This study shows that m1G37 tRNA modification neutralizes differential proline codon decoding, and its absence requires a minor isoacceptor for E. coli viability.

Loss of N1-methylation of G37 in tRNA induces ribosome stalling and reprograms gene expression

I. Masuda, J.-Y. Hwang, T. Christian, S. Maharjan, F. Mohammad, H. Gamper, A. Buskirk, Y.-M. Hou

This study shows that loss of N1-methylation of G37 in tRNA causes ribosome stalling and alters gene expression, resembling the stringent response.

Insights into Genome Recoding from the Mechanism of a Classic +1-Frameshifting tRNA

H. Gamper, H. Li, I. Masuda, D. M. Robkis, T. Christian, A. B. Conn, g. Blaha, E. J. Petersson, R. L. Gonzalez, Y.-M. Hou

This study elucidates the mechanism of +1-frameshifting by tRNA SufB2, showing it uses triplet-slippage and ribosome conformational changes to decode quadruplet codons for genome recoding.

Diploid male gametes circumvent hybrid sterility between Asian and African rice species

D. Kuniyoshi, I. Masuda, Y. Kanaoka, Y. Shimazaki-Kishi, Y. Okamoto, H. Yasui, T. Yamamoto, K. Nagaki, Y. Hoshino, Y. Koide, I. Takamure, Y. Kishima

The paper shows diploid male gametes bypass hybrid sterility in rice hybrids by avoiding allelic conflicts at hybrid sterility loci through meiotic anomalies.
