Dynamic tRNA modification programs align codon usage with growth-phase-specific gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Post-transcriptional transfer RNA (tRNA) modifications dynamically regulate translational capacity, yet whether the tRNA epitranscriptome is temporally coordinated with gene expression programs during bacterial growth remains unknown. Here, we combine time-resolved nanopore tRNA...

Stress-Induced Reprogramming of tRNA Epitranscriptome in the Industrially Important Yeast Komagataella phaffii

Abstract Transfer RNA (tRNA) modifications regulate codon-biased translation and enable rapid translational adaptation to environmental stresses in diverse organisms. While these mechanisms have been extensively characterized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, little is known about the...

Growth-dependent tRNA reprogramming and codon bias link translation to metabolic state in Enterococcus faecalis

ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is a gram-positive commensal bacterium of the human gut microbiome and an opportunistic pathogen responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. Despite the clinical importance of E. faecalis , how gene and protein expression are coordinated with...
