Evidence that tRNA modifying enzymes are important in vivo targets for 5-fluorouracil in yeast.
We have screened a collection of haploid yeast knockout strains for increased sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). A total of 138 5-FU sensitive strains were found. Mutants affecting rRNA and tRNA maturation were particularly sensitive to 5-FU, with the tRNA methylation mutant trm10 being the most sensitive mutant. This is intriguing since trm10, like many other tRNA modification mutants, lack...
متن کاملtRNA Modifying Enzymes, NSUN2 and METTL1, Determine Sensitivity to 5-Fluorouracil in HeLa Cells
Nonessential tRNA modifications by methyltransferases are evolutionarily conserved and have been reported to stabilize mature tRNA molecules and prevent rapid tRNA decay (RTD). The tRNA modifying enzymes, NSUN2 and METTL1, are mammalian orthologs of yeast Trm4 and Trm8, which are required for protecting tRNA against RTD. A simultaneous overexpression of NSUN2 and METTL1 is widely observed among...
متن کاملEvidence that stem cell factor is involved in the rebound thrombocytosis that follows 5-fluorouracil treatment.
The mechanisms responsible for 5-fluorouracil (5FU)-induced rebound thrombocytosis are not completely understood. SI/SI(d) mice, which do not undergo rebound thrombocytosis in response to 5FU, provide a genetic approach to the study of this phenomenon. Recent reports by several groups that the SI locus encodes a protein known variably as stem cell factor (SCF), mast cell growth factor, or kit l...
متن کاملthe most important demotivating factors among efl teachers in private english language institutes in mashhad
just as motivation is important in sla research, demotivation constitutes an important factor, too. there are many studies done on demotivation and burnout of teachers. many of these studies have been conducted on one or two aspects of english instruction. consequently, there are few studies which have been done on more than two aspects of english teaching. the aim of this study is to find out ...
5-epi-Sisomicin and 5-epi-Gentamicin B: substrates for aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes that retain activity against aminoglycoside-resistant bacteria.
A number of bacterial strains, each possessing a different aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme, were examined for susceptibility to sisomicin and gentamicin B and the semisynthetic derivatives 5-epi-sisomicin and 5-epi-gentamicin B. Although strains possessing AAC (6') or APH(3') enzymes were equally resistant to the 5-epi-compounds, those possessing AAC(3)-I, ANT(2"), or AAC(2') enzymes were much ...
