• On the role of an unusual tRNA(Gly) isoacceptor in Staphylococcus aureus 

      Giannouli, S.; Kyritsis, A.; Malissovas, N.; Becker, H. D.; Stathopoulos, C. (2009)
      In the available Staphylococcus aureus genomes, four different genes have been annotated to encode tRNA(Gly) isoacceptors. Besides their prominent role in protein synthesis, some of them also participate in the formation ...
    • A single tRNA base pair mediates bacterial tRNA-dependent biosynthesis of asparagine 

      Bailly, M.; Giannouli, S.; Blaise, M.; Stathopoulos, C.; Kern, D.; Becker, H. D. (2006)
      In many prokaryotes and in organelles asparagine and glutamine are formed by a tRNA-dependent amidotransferase (AdT) that catalyzes amidation of aspartate and glutamate, respectively, mischarged on tRNA(Asn) and tRNA(Gln). ...
