Peptidyl tRNA Hydrolase Is Required for Robust Prolyl-tRNA Turnover in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract

Peptidyl tRNA hydrolase (Pth) is an enzyme that cuts unfinished peptides off tRNA that has been prematurely released from a stalled ribosome. Pth is essential in nearly all bacteria, including the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but it has not been clear why.
