Research Intrest

Our research is focused on RNA modification and its relationships with mitochondrial and infectious diseases.

List of Publications
The tRNA-modifying function of MnmE is controlled by post-hydrolysis steps of its GTPase cycle.
The output of the tRNA modification pathways controlled by the Escherichia coli MnmEG and MnmC enzymes depends on the growth conditions and the tRNA species.
The ROS-sensitive microRNA-9/9* controls the expression of mitochondrial tRNA-modifying enzymes and is involved in the molecular mechanism of MELAS syndrome.
