Role of modified nucleosides of yeast tRNA(Phe) in ribosomal binding

CELL BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOPHYSICS, 33(3), 241–252.

By: S. Ashraf*, R. Guenther n, G. Ansari n, A. Malkiewicz*, E. Sochacka* & P. Agris n

author keywords: tRNA(Phe); anticodon; ASL; nucleoside modification; ribosome
MeSH headings : Nucleosides / genetics; Nucleosides / metabolism; RNA, Fungal / genetics; RNA, Fungal / metabolism; RNA, Transfer, Phe / genetics; RNA, Transfer, Phe / metabolism; Ribosomes / metabolism; Saccharomyces cerevisiae / genetics; Saccharomyces cerevisiae / metabolism
TL;DR: Effective ribosome binding of tRNAPhe is a combination of anticodon stem stability and the correct architecture and dynamics of the anticodon loop, and 2′O-methylation of guanosine at wobble position 34 (Gm34) is identified as being responsible for the characteristically enhanced chemical reactivity of C1400 in Escherichia coli 16S rRNA upon ribosomal footprinting of yeast t RNAPhe.

1999 journal article

Orientation of the tRNA anticodon in the ribosomal P-site: Quantitative footprinting with U-33-modified, anticodon stem and loop domains

RNA, 5(9), 1191–1199.

By: S. Ashraf n, R. Guenther n & P. Agris n

author keywords: anticodon stem/loops; modified nucleosides; quantitative footprinting; ribosome
MeSH headings : Aldehydes / pharmacology; Anticodon / genetics; Antiviral Agents / pharmacology; Base Sequence; Butanones; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Genetic Techniques; Kinetics; Molecular Sequence Data; Mutagens / pharmacology; RNA, Fungal / genetics; RNA, Fungal / metabolism; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / metabolism; RNA, Transfer / genetics; RNA, Transfer / metabolism; RNA, Transfer, Phe / metabolism; Ribosomes / genetics; Ribosomes / metabolism; Sulfuric Acid Esters / pharmacology; Temperature
TL;DR: Two residues, G926 and G1338, were afforded significantly greater protection by both yeast tRNA(Phe) and the ASL-U33 than other residues, such as A532, A794, C795, and A1339, which are important to efficient P-site binding of tRNA. (via Semantic Scholar)

RNA, 5(2), 188–194.

By: S. Ashraf n, E. Sochacka*, R. Cain n, R. Guenther n, A. Malkiewicz* & P. Agris n

author keywords: 2-thiouridine; anticodon conformation; anticodon stem loop analogs; nucleoside modifications; ribosome; translation; tRNA(LyS)

TL;DR: It is concluded that s2U34 in tRNALysSUU and in other s2 U34-containing tRNAs is critical for generating an anticodon conformation that leads to effective codon interaction in all organisms. (via Semantic Scholar)

1999 journal article

The uridine in "U-turn": Contributions to tRNA-ribosomal binding

RNA, 5(4), 503–511.

By: S. Ashraf n, G. Ansari n, R. Guenther n, E. Sochacka*, A. Malkiewicz* & P. Agris n

author keywords: anticodon conformation; anticodon stem loop analogs; ASL; nucleoside modifications; ribosome; translation; tRNA(Phe) U-turn
MeSH headings : Anticodon / chemistry; Anticodon / genetics; Humans; Models, Molecular; Molecular Structure; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Nucleic Acid Denaturation; RNA, Fungal / chemistry; RNA, Fungal / genetics; RNA, Transfer, Phe / chemistry; RNA, Transfer, Phe / metabolism; Ribosomes / genetics; Ribosomes / metabolism; Temperature; Uridine / chemistry; Uridine / genetics
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that proton donations by the N3-H and 2'OH groups of U33 are not absolutely required for ribosomal binding, and suggest that the overall uridine conformation, including a dynamic (C3'-endo > C2'-endo) sugar pucker, anti-conformation, and ability of uracil to stack between C32 and A35-phosphate, are the contributing factors to a functional U-turn.
