Researchers shed light on crucial role of tRNA modifying enzyme in brain function – World News Network
A pioneering study undertaken by a Kumamoto University research team shed light on the crucial role of TRMT10A, a tRNA methylation enzyme, in sustaining brain function. The findings show how TRMT10A deficiency reduces specific transfer RNA (tRNA) levels in the brain, altering protein synthesis and affecting synapse structure and function.
