Hypomodified tRNA in evolutionarily distant yeasts can trigger rapid tRNA decay to activate the general amino acid control response, but with different consequences.

All tRNAs are extensively modified, and modification deficiency often results in growth defects in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and neurological or other disorders in humans. In S. cerevisiae, lack of any of several tRNA body modifications results in rapid tRNA decay (RTD) of certain m...
