An enzyme with a smart friend (IMAGE)
Caption
A previously unheard-of cooperation between two enzymes helps the cell to construct new proteins with more precision. The tRNA modification enzyme METTL6 (in orange) cooperates with the serine tRNA synthetase (in shades of lilac) to select serine tRNAs (black ribbon) from the cellular pool of tRNAs – molecular ‘delivery trucks’ carrying protein building blocks
