Trixi Schuba

Trixi Schuba (Beatrix Schuba, born 1951, Vienna) is an Austrian figure skater, 1972 Sapporo Olympic champion, two-time World and European champion, dominant in compulsory figures; her win triggered figures' devaluation and 1990 abolition.

Trixies

Trixies is the sixteenth studio album by Squeeze, released in 2026. The concept album was written in 1974 by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, inspired by Damon Runyon's stories.

TRIZ (теория решения изобретательских задач)

TRIZ, the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, is a systematic method for solving technical problems by eliminating contradictions, developed by Genrich Altshuller in the Soviet Union from 1946.

Trk receptor

Trk receptors (tropomyosin-related kinases) are a family of three receptor tyrosine kinases, TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC, activated by neurotrophins like NGF and BDNF to support neuronal survival.

TRL (Transformer Reinforcement Learning)

TRL (Transformer Reinforcement Learning) is an open-source Hugging Face Python library, released under Apache-2.0, for post-training language models with methods like SFT, DPO, GRPO, and reward modeling.

TrmE-type guanine nucleotide-binding domain

The TrmE-type guanine nucleotide-binding domain is the Ras-like GTPase domain of TrmE, also called MnmE or ThdF, a conserved tRNA-modification GTPase whose potassium-stimulated GTP hydrolysis drives wobble uridine modification.

Trmice CCGT plant

The Trmice CCGT plant is a planned 150 MWe combined-cycle gas-fired cogeneration source at the Teplárna Trmice heating plant in Trmice, Czech Republic, replacing brown-coal boilers by 2030.

tRNA 3′-end maturation

tRNA 3′-end maturation: RNase trimming of precursor 3′ ends and template-independent CCA addition by CCA-adding enzyme (tRNA nucleotidyltransferase), classes I and II, plus CCACCA quality-control tagging.

tRNA A64-2'-O-ribosylphosphate transferase

RIT1 (YMR283C) tRNA A64-2'-O-ribosylphosphate transferase, a yeast cytoplasmic pentosyltransferase modifying initiator tRNA position 64 to discriminate it from elongator tRNAs; distinct from the human Ras-like GTPase gene RIT1.

tRNA identity elements

tRNA identity elements are the nucleotides that tell aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases to attach the correct amino acid, located mainly in the anticodon loop and acceptor stem of the tRNA.

tRNA isoacceptors and isodecoders

tRNA isoacceptors are transfer RNAs carrying the same amino acid but with different anticodons, while isodecoders share an anticodon yet differ in body sequence, with distinct functional and disease consequences.

tRNA methyltransferases

tRNA methyltransferases are enzymes that transfer methyl groups onto transfer RNA, the adaptor RNA delivering amino acids to the ribosome; methylation is the most frequent of about 90 reported tRNA modifications.

tRNA modification epitranscriptomics

tRNA modification epitranscriptomics is the study of chemical modifications on tRNA as dynamic regulatory marks that control translation, with links to stress, neurodevelopment, and cancer.

tRNA pseudouridine synthases

tRNA pseudouridine synthases, or Pus enzymes, are enzymes that convert specific uridines in transfer RNA to pseudouridine; humans encode 13, and mutations in PUS1, PUS3, and PUS7 cause rare diseases.

tRNA-derived small RNA

tRNA-derived small RNAs are short RNA molecules produced by cutting transfer RNAs or their precursors, not by dedicated transcription. They include 14–30 nucleotide tRFs and 28–36 nucleotide tiRNAs, and regulate translation, stress responses, and retrotransposon silencing.

tRNA-guanine transglycosylase

tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT, EC 2.4.2.29, QTRT) exchanges guanine in tRNA for 7-deazaguanines, producing queuosine or archaeosine at the wobble position via a covalent aspartate intermediate.

tRNA-specific 2-thiouridylase MnmA-like

tRNA-specific 2-thiouridylase MnmA-like (InterPro IPR004506): ATP-dependent enzyme family installing sulfur at wobble uridine 34 of tRNAs for Glu, Gln, Lys; bacterial MnmA and mitochondrial Mtu1; [4Fe-4S]-dependent.

tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase 1

TAD1 (ADAT1, scADAT1) is the eukaryotic tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase that deaminates adenosine 37 of tRNA-Ala to inosine, later methylated to m1I37; a homodimeric, non-essential enzyme proposed as the ancestor of ADAR editing proteins.
