Article Synopsis
- Thermus thermophilus is a heat-loving bacterium that grows at temperatures between 50-83°C and produces various types of polyamines that help modify its tRNA.
- In its tRNA, specific modifications at certain positions are crucial for stabilizing its structure, but unmodified tRNA precursors can be disrupted by high temperatures.
- Research showed that certain polyamines, like caldohexamine and tetrakis(3-aminopropy)ammonium, can enhance the activity of an enzyme (TrmH) responsible for adding modifications to tRNA, especially at elevated temperatures.
