Selective targeting of type II tRNAs underlies SLFN14-mediated translational repression and its dysregulation by thrombocytopenia-linked mutations

This study identifies SLFN14 as a ribosome-associated endoribonuclease that represses translation by selectively cleaving type II tRNAs, and shows how mutations linked to thrombocytopenia disrupt this mechanism.
