Disease relevance of TRM8

 

High impact information on TRM8

  • We show here that m7G46 methyltransferase Trm8p/Trm82p acts as a hub of synthetic interactions with several tRNA modification enzymes, resulting in temperature-sensitive growth [2].
  • Multiple copies of tRNA(Val(AAC)) suppress the trm8-delta trm4-delta growth defect, directly implicating this tRNA in the phenotype [2].
  • We show that Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains lacking Trm8p/Trm82p tRNA m7G methyltransferase are temperature-sensitive in synthetic media containing glycerol [3].
