The RNA methyltransferase METTL8 installs m(3)C(32) in mitochondrial tRNAs(Thr/Ser(UCN)) to optimise tRNA structure and mitochondrial translation

Modified nucleotides in tRNAs are important determinants of folding, structure and function. Here we identify METTL8 as a mitochondrial matrix protein and active RNA methyltransferase responsible for installing m(3)C(32) in the human mitochondrial (mt-)tRNA(Thr) and mt-tRNA(Ser(UCN)). METTL8 crossli...
