  • Title: Thiolated nucleotides in yeast transfer RNA.
    Author: Laten HM, Cramer JH, Rownd RH.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1983 Oct 13; 741(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 6351920.
    Abstract:
    By culturing Saccharomyces cerevisiae in growth medium containing Mg35SO4, we have determined the extent and variation of tRNA thiolation in this yeast. We find that 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U)1 is the major, if not only, thiolated derivative in S. cerevisiae tRNA. In addition, a comparison of the chromatographic mobility of mcm5s2Up on cellulose thin layers with those reported for unknown uridine derivatives found in purified yeast tRNA digests, leads to the conclusion that at least two of these tRNAs contain this modification.
