The frequency of errors upon decoding of messenger RNA by the bacterial ribosome is low, with one misreading event per 1 × 10<sup>4</sup> codons. In the universal genetic code, the AUN codon box specifies two amino acids, isoleucine and methionine. In bacteria and archaea, decoding specificity of the AUA and AUG codons relies on the wobble avoidance strategy that requires modification of C34 in the anticodon loop of isoleucine transfer RNA<sup>Ile</sup><sub>CAU</sub> (tRNA<sup>Ile</sup><sub>CAU< ...[more]
