We report in this paper on isolation and characterization of two unknown nucleosides G* and [A*] located in the T-psi-stem of yeast methionine initiator tRNA, using the combined means of HPLC protocols, real time UV-absorption spectrum, and post-run mass spectrometry by electron impact or fast atom bombardment. The G* nucleoside in position 65 was identified as unmodified guanosine. The structure of the unknown [A*] in position 64 was characterized as an isomeric form of O-ribosyl-adenosine by comparison of its chromatographic, UV-spectral and mass spectrometric properties with those of authentic O-alpha-ribofuranosyl-(1"----2')-adenosine isolated from biosynthetic poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose). Our studies also brought evidence for the presence of a phosphorylmonoester group located on this new modified nucleoside [A*], when isolated by ion exchange chromatography from enzymic hydrolysis of yeast initiator tRNAMet without phosphatase treatment.
在本文中,我们报告了利用高效液相色谱法、实时紫外吸收光谱以及电子轰击或快原子轰击的运行后质谱等综合手段,对酵母甲硫氨酸起始tRNA的T-ψ-茎中两个未知核苷G和[A]进行分离和表征的研究。65位的G核苷被鉴定为未修饰的鸟苷。通过将64位未知[A]的色谱、紫外光谱和质谱性质与从生物合成的聚(二磷酸腺苷核糖)中分离得到的 authentic O-α-呋喃核糖基-(1"----2')-腺苷的性质进行比较,其结构被表征为O-核糖基腺苷的异构体形式。我们的研究还提供了证据,表明当通过离子交换色谱法从未经磷酸酶处理的酵母起始tRNAMet的酶促水解产物中分离出这种新的修饰核苷[A*]时,该核苷上存在一个磷酸单酯基团。
