A Y-base derivative was isolated from rat liver tRNAPhe and its structure was assigned to be alpha-(carboxyamino)-beta-hydroxy-4,9-dihydro-4,6-dimethyl-9-oxo-1H-imidazol[1,2-a]purine-7-butyric acid dimethyl ester (hydroxy-Y), based on the results of mass spectrometry and chemical degradation. This modified base seems to be the major fluorescent component of rat liver tRNAPhe; the peroxy-Y base previously isolated from rat liver tRNAPhe and characterized by Nakanishi and his coworkers (1,2) was not present in our preparation.
从大鼠肝脏苯丙氨酸转运核糖核酸(tRNAPhe)中分离出一种Y碱基衍生物,基于质谱分析和化学降解结果,其结构被确定为α-(羧基氨基)-β-羟基-4,9-二氢-4,6-二甲基-9-氧代-1H-咪唑并[1,2-a]嘌呤-7-丁酸二甲酯(羟基-Y)。这种修饰碱基似乎是大鼠肝脏tRNAPhe的主要荧光成分;我们的制备物中不存在先前从大鼠肝脏tRNAPhe中分离并由中岸及其同事鉴定的过氧-Y碱基(1,2)。
