Modified nucleosides in the first positions of the anticodons of tRNA(Leu)4 and tRNA(Leu)5 from Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Minor leucine tRNA species, tRNA(Leu)4 and tRNA(Leu)5, from Escherichia coli B have been reported to recognize leucine codons UUA and UUG [Goldman, E., Holmes, W. M., and Hatfield, G. W. (1979) J. Mol. Biol. 129, 567-585]. In the present study, these two tRNA(Leu) species were purified from E. coli A19, and the nucleotide sequences were determined by a post-labeling method. tRNA(Leu)5 was found to correspond to the tRNA gene reported as su degrees6 tRNA [Yoshimura, M., Inokuchi, H., and Ozeki, H. (1984) J. Mol. Biol. 177, 627-644]. The first letter of the anticodon was identified to be 2'-O-methylcytidine (Cm). tRNA(Leu)4 was identified as the minor leucine tRNA that has been sequenced previously (tRNA(Leu)UUR) [Yamaizumi, Z., Kuchino, Y., Harada, F., Nishimura, S., and McCloskey, J. A. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 2220-2225]. There was an unidentified modified nucleoside (N*) in the first position of the anticodon of tRNA(Leu)4. Nucleoside N* was isolated to homogeneity (1 A260 unit). By 1H NMR spectroscopy, nucleoside N was found to be a 2'-O-methyluridine derivative with a substituent having a -CH2NH2+CH2COO- moiety in position 5 of the uracil ring. On the basis of these NMR analyses together with mass spectrometry, the chemical structure of nucleoside N* was determined as 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2'-O-methyluridine (cmnm5Um). Nucleoside N* was thus found to be a novel type of naturally occurring modified uridine. Because of the conformational rigidity of Cm and cmnm5Um in the first position of the anticodon, these tRNA(Leu) species recognize the leucine codons UUA++ and UUG correctly, but never recognize the phenylalanine codons UUU and UUC.
