The Ambiguous Genetic Code of Methanogenic Archaea that Grow on Methylamines
Katie E. Shalvarjian, Grayson L. Chadwick, Paloma I. Pérez…·Dipti D. Nayak
This study shows that methanogenic archaea use an ambiguous genetic code where the stop codon UAG can encode pyrrolysine, and that Pyl biosynthesis is regulated to manage this ambiguity.
