Elongator complex influences telomeric gene silencing and DNA damage response by its role in wobble uridine tRNA modification.

Elongator complex is required for formation of the side chains at position 5 of modified nucleosides 5-carbamoylmethyluridine (ncm⁵U₃₄), 5-methoxycarbonylmethyluridine (mcm⁵U₃₄), and 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm⁵s²U₃₄) at wobble position in tRNA. These modified nucleosides are importan...
