Synthesis and Biophysical Characterization of tRNALys,3 Anticodon Stem-Loop RNAs Containing the mcm5s2U Nucleoside
摘要:
Phosphoramidite reagents of the naturally occurring modified nucleosides mcm(5)s(2)U and mcm(5)U were synthesized and along with pseudouridine were incorporated into 17-nucleotide lysine tRNA anticodon stem-loop domains. Standard RNA phosphoramidite coupling chemistry allowed us to systematically investigate the thermodynamic effects of nucleoside modification and to correlate thermodynamic trends with qualitative structure effects seen by NMR spectroscopy.

Family ties: The AlkB family of nonheme iron, α‐ketoglutarate (αKG)‐dependent dioxygenases is involved in biological processes such as DNA/RNA repair and obesity. The AlkBdomain of ABH8 is shown to catalyze the hydroxylation of a modified uridine (mcm5U) into (S)‐mchm5U at the wobbleposition of the anticodon stem–loop in tRNA (see scheme), thereby suggesting that this protein is a tRNA hypermodification
