The SARS-CoV-2 main protease specifically cleaves a conserved sequence in the human tRNA modifying enzyme TRMT1, resulting in reduced tRNA binding and the complete loss of TRMT1-mediated tRNA methyltransferase activity.
N‑terminus of MSL1 protein, involved in dosage compensation in Drosophila, is required for the interaction with non-coding roX2 RNA and the assembly of the complex on the male X chromosome.
