Sequential action of a tRNA base editor in conversion of cytidine to pseudouridine

C-to-Ψ conversion is a previously uncharacterized form of base editing. Here, the authors describe how the TrcP enzyme catalyzes this process in a stepwise fashion and how this editing process is controlled by a network of modifications and nutrient availability to optimize translation efficiency.
