We cracked the tRNA specificity of FaRel2 toxSAS. A fun collaboration with the @SuzukiRNALab, Garcia-Pino @gem__atkinson and Polikanov. Out in @ScienceAdvances! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Toxic small alarmone synthetase FaRel2 inhibits translation by pyrophosphorylating tRNAGly and...

The toxSAS FaRel2 inspects four base pairs of the tRNA acceptor stem to specifically select tRNAGly and tRNAThr.

See our preprint on systematic hotspot annotation! In addition to hotspot analysis, we provide precomputed iLund4u databases and two search modes: find if your query proteins are encoded in hotspots or map hotspots to a single phage/plasmid sequence. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
