Queuosine is a modified nucleoside that is present in certain tRNAs in bacteria and eukaryotes.[1][2] Originally identified in E. coli, queuosine was found to occupy the first anticodon position of tRNAs for histidine, aspartic acid, asparagine and tyrosine.[3] The first anticodon position pairs with the third "wobble" position in codons, and queuosine improves accuracy of translation.[4][5][6] Synthesis of queuosine begins with GTP. In bacteria, two classes of riboswitch are known to regulate genes that are involved in the synthesis or transport of pre-queuosine1, a precursor to queuosine: PreQ1-I riboswitches and PreQ1-II riboswitches.
