IN BRIEF: Tailored translation: Local tRNA activation to match protein composition needs (Laura Arribas-Hernández) doi.org/10.1093/plce... #PlantScience @aspbofficial
Activation of the Arabidopsis tRNA SYY cluster in cells of the root cap fuels translation of Ser/Tyr/Pro-rich proteins. A) Graphic representation of the restricted expression of the SYY cluster in Arabidopsis seedlings. B) EXT19 contains a large number of Ser-Pro5-Tyr repeats, whose translation in root cap cells is fueled by the extra supply of tRNASer/Tyr resulting from the transcriptional activation of the SYY cluster (27xSYY) in chromosome 1. The root tip graphs are from Erin Sparks, available on FigShare under a CC BY 4.0 license (https://figshare.com/articles/figure/Arabidopsis_root_anatomy/ 4688344). Figure credit: L. Arribas-Hernández.
