Transfer RNA methylating activity of yeast mitochondria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitochondria isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and purified in Urografin or sucrose gradient contain tRNA methylating activity with specificities different from those of the cytoplasm. The main reaction product, using E.coli tRNA as methyl group acceptor, is N(2),-N(2)-dimethylguanine. The corresponding mitochondrial methylase is coded by nuclear DNA. A DNA methylating activity is also associated with yeast mitochondria.

Transfer RNA methylase and transfer RNA methylase-inhibitor activity in normal and malignant human ovarian tissue.
Eight different human ovarian carcinomas were shown to have 2 to 25 times higher transfer RNA methylase-specific activity and transfer RNA methylating capacity than do normal ovarian tissues. The more rapidly metastasizing, poorly differentiated carcinomas had higher transfer RNA methylase activity than did slower metastasizing, well-dif ferentiated, and intermediately differentiated carcinomas...
متن کاملTrans-kingdom rescue of Gln-tRNAGln synthesis in yeast cytoplasm and mitochondria
Aminoacylation of transfer RNA(Gln) (tRNA(Gln)) is performed by distinct mechanisms in different kingdoms and represents the most diverged route of aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis found in nature. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cytosolic Gln-tRNA(Gln) is generated by direct glutaminylation of tRNA(Gln) by glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS), whereas mitochondrial Gln-tRNA(Gln) is formed by an indirect pa...
متن کاملTime dependence of ethionine-induced changes in rat liver transfer RNA methylation.
Methyl-deficient transfer RNA (tRNA) and subnormal levels of tRNA-methylating enzymes were found in the livers of female rats that had received injections of 250 mg DL-ethionine per kg body weight per day and 120 mg adenine per kg body weight per day for 2 days. Adenine alone had no effect. When the ethionine plus adenine injections were continued for longer periods of time, liver tRNA-methylat...
متن کاملThe Mitochondrial RNA Landscape of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Mitochondria are essential organelles that harbor a reduced genome, and expression of that genome requires regulated metabolism of its transcriptome by nuclear-encoded proteins. Despite extensive investigation, a comprehensive map of the yeast mitochondrial transcriptome has not been developed and all of the RNA-metabolizing proteins have not been identified, both of which are prerequisites to ...
متن کاملEthionine-induced changes in rat liver transfer RNA methylation.
We have confirmed the finding by Rajalakshmi that transfer RNA (tRNA) from livers of ethionine-treated rats can act as a substrate for homologous tRNA-methylating enzymes in vitro. This methyl-deficient tRNA from liver can be methylated in vitro by enzymes from normal or ethionine-treated rats. The in vitro inhibition of tRNA methylation that follows ethionine treatment can be at least partiall...
