Abstract:Transfer RNAs play a crucial role in protein translation where they bring amino acids to the ribosome to be incorporated into nascent polypeptide chains. During stress conditions tRNAs can be cleaved to generate tRNA-derived fragments. Several ribonucleases have been identified that cleave tRNA, however mutations in the stress-induced ribonuclease Angiogenin have been identified in a range of neurological disorders including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease, suggestin… Show more
