This study identifies YhcC as an anaerobic alternative to MnmC for demodifying cmnm5s2U to nm5s2U in E. coli tRNA.

This paper identifies SLC35F2 as a high-specificity transporter for queuine and queuosine in multiple species and shows its role in regulating intracellular levels of these micronutrients.

This paper identifies a novel pathway for mnm5s2U synthesis in Gram-positive bacteria, revealing alternative biosynthetic mechanisms involving the MnmL enzyme.

The paper maps tRNA modifications and their synthesis genes in two Bartonella species, identifying gene reductions linked to reductive evolution.
