The conserved U54 in tRNA is often modified to 5-methyluridine (m(5)U) and forms a reverse Hoogsteen base pair with A58 that stabilizes the L-shaped tRNA structure. In Gram-positive and some Gram-negative eubacteria, m(5)U54 is produced by folate/FAD-dependent tRNA (m(5)U54) methyltransferase

Formation of 5-methyluridine (ribothymidine) at position 54 of the T-psi loop of tRNA is catalyzed by site-specific tRNA methyltransferases (tRNA:m(5)U-54 MTase). In all Eukarya and many Gram-negative Bacteria, the methyl donor for this reaction is S-adenosyl-l-methionine (S-AdoMet), while in several

Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from all kingdoms contain a variety of post-transcriptional modifications and these are typically clustered in the functional centers of the ribosome. The functions of two bases in the 23S rRNA of Escherichia coli that are post-transcriptionally modified

Recent studies have shown that there can be large differences in the stability of double and triple helical nucleic acid complexes, depending on whether RNA or DNA strands are involved. These differences have been attributed to structural differences in the

The last 82 nucleotides of the 6.3 kb genomic RNA of plant turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), the so-called 'tRNA-like' domain, presents functional, structural and primary sequence homologies with canonical tRNAs. In particular, one of the stem-loops resembles the TPsi(pseudouridine)-branch
