Biosynthesis of 4-Thiouridine in tRNA in the Methanogenic Archaeon Methanococcus maripaludis

4-Thiouridine (s(4)U) is a conserved modified nucleotide at position 8 of bacterial and archaeal tRNAs and plays a role in protecting cells from near-UV killing. Escherichia coli employs the following two enzymes for its synthesis: the cysteine desulfurase IscS, which forms a Cys persulfide enzyme a...
