Recognition of guanosine by dissimilar tRNA methyltransferases.
Guanosines are important for biological activities through their specific functional groups that are recognized for RNA or protein interactions. One example is recognition of N(1) of G37 in tRNA by S-adenosyl-methionine (AdoMet)-dependent tRNA methyltransferases to synthesize m(1)G37-tRNA, which is essential for translational fidelity in all biological domains. Synthesis of m(1)G37-tRNA is cata...
متن کاملMethylated nucleosides in tRNA and tRNA methyltransferases
To date, more than 90 modified nucleosides have been found in tRNA and the biosynthetic pathways of the majority of tRNA modifications include a methylation step(s). Recent studies of the biosynthetic pathways have demonstrated that the availability of methyl group donors for the methylation in tRNA is important for correct and efficient protein synthesis. In this review, I focus on the methyla...
متن کاملThe preparation of the cerebellar tRNA methyltransferases
Developmental patterns of homologous and heterologous tRNA methylation by cerebellar tRNA methyltransferases are described. The study revealed that: (a) homologous tRNA methylation results in the predominant formation of N2-methylguanine and 1-methyladenine; (b) tRNA methyltransferases of bulk-isolated Purkinje and granule cells methylate E. coli tRNAglu2 in vitro in a characteristic manner, an...
متن کاملGlycyl-tRNA synthetase: an oligomeric protein containing dissimilar subunits.
Glycyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli is a tetramer containing two small (33,000 daltons) and two large (80,000 daltons) subunits. The subunits can be separated and then reassembled to form active enzyme. Genetically altered glycyl-tRNA synthetases are modified in either the large or the small subunit. Wild type activity can be reconstituted in vitro by mixing extracts containing enzymes...
متن کاملMolecular recognition of tRNA(Pro) by Escherichia coli proline tRNA synthetase in vitro
In this study, we identify a subset of nucleotides that specify aminoacylation of tRNA(Pro) by Escherichia coli proline tRNA synthetase in vitro. Twenty-two tRNA(Pro) variants were prepared by in vitro transcription and their efficiency of aminoacylation with proline (kcat/KM) was measured. From this analysis, we conclude that recognition elements for tRNA(Pro) aminoacylation by ProRS are locat...
