The modified nucleoside (U*) present in the wobble position of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial tRNA(Leu) and tRNA(Trp) was isolated by thin-layer chromatography and HPLC. Its chromatographic, UV spectral, and mass spectrometric properties were shown to be identical with those of 5- [[(carboxymethyl)amino]methyl]uridine (cmnm5U). This nucleoside found in yeast mitochondrial tRNAs reading two-codon families ending in a purine permits the selective recognition of A and G in the third codon position.
通过薄层色谱法和高效液相色谱法分离出了存在于酿酒酵母线粒体tRNA(Leu)和tRNA(Trp)摆动位置的修饰核苷(U*)。结果表明,其色谱、紫外光谱和质谱性质与5-[[(羧甲基)氨基]甲基]尿苷(cmnm5U)相同。在酵母线粒体tRNA中发现的这种核苷可识别以嘌呤结尾的双密码子家族,从而能够在第三个密码子位置选择性识别A和G。
