In echinoderm mitochondria, the codon AAA encodes asparagine instead of lysine. A newly identified nucleoside modification, hydroxy-
N
6
-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (ht
6
A), is found adjacent to the anticodon in mt-tRNA
Lys
and prevents mt-tRNA
Lys
from misreading AAA as lysine.
The genetic code is not frozen but stil...
