From: Structural insights into dynamics of the BMV TLS aminoacylation

Upon binding with TyrRS, BMV TLS undergoes significant conformational rearrangements, which allow it to be recognized by TyrRS to charge with Tyr, mimicking a tRNA function. The Tyr-charging TLS then binds with EF1α or EF2 to manipulate the host’s translational machinery to its advantage. Created in BioRender. N′N′, OY. (2025) https://BioRender.com/q47d213.
