Doublet decoding of tRNASer3 demonstrates plasticity of ribosomal decoding center

Shruthi Krishnaswamy, Shirin Akbar, Daniel S. D. Larsson…·M. Selmer

The paper shows that E. coli tRNASer3 can induce -1 frameshifting on GCA codons through doublet-decoding, revealing a mechanism involving A1493 and U36 interactions.
