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

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

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
