Deskripsi
Eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1A) is subject to extensive post-translational methylation but not all responsible enzymes are known. Here, the authors identify METTL13 as an eEF1A methyltransferase with dual specificity, which is involved in the codon-specific modulation of mRNA translation.
