    Recognition and cleavage of human tRNA methyltransferase TRMT1 by the SARS-CoV-2 main protease

    Angel D'Oliviera, Xuhang Dai ... Jeffrey S Mugridge
    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.
