Title 15N-labeled tRNA. Identification of dihydrouridine in Escherichia coli tRNAfMet, tRNALys, and tRNAPhe by 1H-15N two-dimensional NMR.
Date 1986-03-15
Description The N3 imino units of dihydrouridine were identified in samples of 15N-labeled Escherichia coli tRNAfMet, tRNALys, and tRNAPhe by 1H-15N two-dimensional NMR. The peaks for dihydrouridine had high field 1H (9.7-9.8 ppm) and 15N (147.8-149.5 ppm) chemical shifts. Assignments were made by 1H-15N chemical shift correlation based on values obtained in model studies with tri-O-benzoyl- and tri-O-acetyldihydrouridine. The rates of exchange of the imino protons with water suggest that the D-loop in tRNAfMet is less stable than the D-loops in tRNALys or tRNAPhe. Closely spaced peaks were observed for the two dihydrouridines in tRNAPhe in a high resolution spectrum.
