Methyltransferases that use S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) as a cofactor to catalyse 5-methyl uridine (m(5)U) formation in tRNAs and rRNAs are widespread in Bacteria and Eukaryota, and are also found in certain Archaea. These enzymes belong to the COG2265 cluster, and the

Almost all transfer RNA molecules sequenced so far contain two universal modified nucleosides at positions 54 and 55, respectively: ribothymidine (T54) and pseudouridine (psi 55). To identify the tRNA elements recognized by tRNA:m5uridine-54 methyltransferase and tRNA:pseudouridine-55 synthase from the yeast

Escherichia coli tmRNA functions uniquely as both tRNA and mRNA and possesses structural elements similar to canonical tRNAs. To test whether this mimicry extends to post-transcriptional modification, the technique of combined liquid chromatography/ electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESIMS) and sequence

This paper describes a high yielding coupled enzymatic reaction using Bacillus halodurans purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and E. coli uridine phosphorylase (UP) for synthesis of 5-methyluridine (5-MU) by transglycosylation. Key parameters such as reaction temperature, pH, reactant loading, reactor configuration

In DNA triple helices, methylation at C-5 of thymine or cytosine is reported to have similar stabilizing effects for both bases. Here we show, however, that methylation of the same positions in RNA triplexes has distinctly different effects than in
