Type-B ARRs are activated by phosphorylation, which enables them to regulate the transcription of a set of target genes for cytokinin response, and type-A ARRs

Certain archaebacteria lack a gene for CysRS. In these cells, Cys–tRNACys is produced by a ProRS (called ProCysRS).

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Certain proteins, such as the enzymes glutathione peroxidase and formate dehydrogenase, contain an unusual amino acid called selenocysteine, which is part of the catalytic center of the enzymes.

Selenocysteine is incorporated into proteins with the aid of a tRNA that interprets the UGA Stop codon as a Sec codon. tRNASec is initially charged with serine in a reaction catalyzed by the same SerRS that charges tRNASer.
