5- (Methoxycarbonyl) methyluridine
5- (Methoxycarbonyl) methyluridine (mcm5U) is a critical tRNA modification found in yeast that ensures proper anticodon loop structure for mRNA codon binding. Its absence, such as in Elongator complex mutants like elp3, is linked to translational defects and increased protein aggregation, making it a key molecule for studying translation fidelity and proteostasis in vivo.
