Hypoxia: Uncharged tRNA to the Rescue!

Curr Biol. 2021 Jan 11;31(1):R25-R27. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.10.067.

Abstract

A new study has identified genes that protect Caenorhabditis elegans from hypoxic stress. Genomic approaches and whole-organism proteomics reveal a regulatory interaction between a threonyl-tRNA synthetase and ribosome biogenesis that modulates global translation and hypoxic sensitivity.
