5-Taurinomethyluridine
5-Taurinomethyluridine is a taurine-containing modified uridine and translation regulator that exists in Trp and Leu (UUR) tRNAs of mammalian mitochondria. 5-Taurinomethyluridine is located at the first position of the anticodon of these mitochondrial tRNAs. 5-Taurinomethyluridine is synthesized from taurine and one-carbon metabolites by GTPBP3/MTO1, and its deficiency directly causes abnormal mitochondrial translation and various human mitochondrial diseases.
