Abstract
A plethora of modified nucleotides extends the chemical and conformational space for natural occurring RNAs. tRNAs constitute the class of RNAs with the highest modification rate. The extensive modification modulates their overall stability, the fidelity and efficiency of translation. However, the impact of nucleotide modifications on the local structural dynamics is not well characterized. Here we show that the incorporation of the modified nucleotides in tRNAfMet from Escherichia coli leads to an increase in the local conformational dynamics, ultimately resulting in the stabilization of the overall tertiary structure. Through analysis of the local dynamics by NMR spectroscopic methods we find that, although the overall thermal stability of the tRNA is higher for the modified molecule, the conformational fluctuations on the local level are increased in comparison to an unmodified tRNA. In consequence, the melting of individual base pairs in the unmodified tRNA is determined by high entropic penalties compared to the modified. Further, we find that the modifications lead to a stabilization of long-range interactions harmonizing the stability of the tRNA's secondary and tertiary structure. Our results demonstrate that the increase in chemical space through introduction of modifications enables the population of otherwise inaccessible conformational substates.

Abstract
The promoter-proximal portion of the operon containing the Escherichia coli nusA gene has been cloned. Its nucleotide sequence shows that genes for tRNAMetf2 and a 15-kilodalton protein of unknown function precede the nusA protein gene. The sequence suggests that the three genes form a single transcription unit. Consistent with this hypothesis, purified RNA polymerase formed full-length transcripts on the cloned DNA in vitro, although transcription was frequently arrested at the intercistronic site(s) between the gene for tRNAMetf2 and the 15-kilodalton protein.

Abstract
The charging of tRNA-Met-f and tRNA-Met-m in vivo and in vitro and initiation of polysomes during methionine limitation were studied in two strains of Escherichia coli K12. In the wild-type strain the distribution of polysomes as well as the kinetic parameters of methionyl-tRNA synthetase indicate preferential acylation of tRNA-Met-f. This preferential charging of tRNAM-et-f does not take place in a mutant strain which is also defective in initiation of polysomes during methionine limitation.

Abstract
Chemically synthesized fragments corresponding to the 3' end of tRNAfMet from Escherichia coli were joined by T4-induced RNA ligase to yield a heptadecanucleotide (bases 61--77). The 3' terminus of C-C-A was modified by introduction of the ethoxymethylidene group to prevent intra- and intermolecular self-joining reactions at the 3' end. The terminal trimer was phosphorylated using polynucleotide kinase and joined to C-A-A with RNA ligase. The hexamer [C-A-A-C-C-A(ethoxymethylidene)] corresponding to bases 72--77 was obtained in a yield of 60%. An undecanucleotide (bases 61--71) which had been synthesized in a yield of 34% by similar enzymatic joining of U-C-C-G-G to pC-C-C-C-C-G was allowed to react with the 5'-phosphorylated hexamer (bases 72--77) using an excess of RNA ligase to yield the heptadecanucleotide U-C-C-G-G-C-C-C-C-C-G-C-A-A-C-C-A (bases 61--77). The product was identified by homochromatography and nearest neighbor analysis.

Abstract
Eight class I tRNA species have been purified to homogeneity and their proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra in the low-field region (-11 to -15 ppm) have been studied at 360 MHz. The low-field spectra contain only one low-field resonance from each base pair (the ring NH hydrogen bond) and hence directly monitor the number of long-lived secondary and tertiary base pairs in solution. The tRNA species were chosen on the basis of their sequence homology with yeast phenylalanine tRNA in the regions which form tertiary base pairs in the crystal structure of this tRNA. All of the spectra show 26 or 27 low-field resonances approximately 7 of which are derived from tertiary base pairs. These results are contrary to previous claims that the NMR spectra indicate the presence of resonances from secondary base pairs only, as well as more recent claims of only 1-3 tertiary resonances, but are in good agreement with the number of tertiary base pairs expected in solution based on the crystal structure. The tertiary base pair resonances are stable up to at least 46 degrees C. Removal of magnesium ions causes structural changes in the tRNA but does not result in the loss of any secondary or tertiary base pairs.

Abstract
A partially purified tRNA methylase fraction from rat liver, containing m(2)G- m(1)A- and m(5)C-methylase, was used to study the influence of Mg(++) and of the biogenic polyamine cadaverine on the enzymatic methylation of E.coli tRNA(fMet)in vitro. In presence of 1 or 10 mM Mg(++), guanosine no. 27 was methylated to m(2)G. In 1 mM Mg(++) plus 30 mM cadaverine, guanosine in position 27 and adenosine in position 59 were methylated. In presence of 30 mM cadaverine alone tRNA(fMet) accepted three methyl groups: in addition to guanosine no. 27 and adenosine no. 59 cytidine no. 49 was methylated. In order to correlate tRNA(fMet) tertiary structure changes with the methylation patterns, differentiated melting curves of tRNA(fMet) were measured under the methylation conditions. It was shown that the thermodynamic stability of tRNA(fMet) tertiary structure is different in presence of Mg(++), or Mg(++) plus cadaverine, or cadaverine alone. From the differentiated melting curves and from the methylation experiments one can conclude that at 37 degrees in the presence of Mg(++) tRNA(fMet) has a compact structure with the extra loop and the TpsiC-loop protected by tertiary structure interactions. In Mg(++) plus cadaverine, the TpsiC-loop is available, while the extra loop is yet engaged in teritary structure (G-15: C-49) interactions. In cadaverine alone, the TpsiC-loop and the extra loop are free; hence under these conditions the open tRNA(fMet) clover leaf may be the substrate for methylation. In general, cadaverine destabilizes tRNA tertiary structure in the presence of Mg(++), and stabilizes tRNA(fMet) tertiary structure in the absence of Mg(++). This may be explained by a competition of cadaverine with Mg(++) for specific binding sites on the tRNA. On the basis of these experiments a possible role of biogenic polyamines in vivo may be discussed: as essential components of procaryotic and eucaryotic ribosomes they may together with ribosomal factors facilitate tRNA-ribosome binding during protein biosynthesis by opening the tRNA tertiary structure, thus making the tRNA's TpsiC-loop available for interaction with the complementary sequence of the ribosomal 5S RNA.

Abstract
1. The sites within the tRNA sequence of nucleosides methylated by the action of enzymes from mouse colon, rat kidney and tumours of these tissues acting on tRNA(Asp) from yeast and on tRNA(Glu) (2), tRNA(fMet) and tRNA(Val) (1) from Escherichia coli were determined. 2. The same sites in a particular tRNA were methylated by all of these extracts. Thus tRNA(Glu) (2) was methylated at the cytidine residue at position 48 and the adenosine residue at position 58 from the 5'-end of the molecule; tRNA(Asp) was methylated at the guanosine residue at position 26 from the 5'-end of the molecule; tRNA(fMet) was methylated at the guanosine residues 9 and 27, the cytidine residue 49 and the adenosine residue 59 from the 5'-end; tRNA(Val) (1) was methylated at the guanosine residue 10, the cytidine residue 48 and the adenosine residue 58 from the 5'-end. 3. All of these sites within the clover leaf structure of the tRNA sequence are occupied by a methylated nucleoside in some tRNA species of known sequence. It is concluded that methylation of tRNA from micro-organisms by enzymes from mammalian tissues in vitro probably does accurately represent the specificity of these enzymes in vivo. However, there was no evidence that the tumour extracts, which had considerably greater tRNA methylase activity than the normal tissues, had methylases with altered specificity capable of methylating sites not methylated in the normal tissues.

Abstract
We describe a method for obtaining radioactive fingerprints from nonradioactive ribonucleic acid. Fragments derived by T1 ribonuclease digestion of RNA are dephosphorylated with bacterial alkaline phosphatase. When these fragments are used as primers for the reaction of primer dependent polynucleotide phosphorylase with [alpha-(32)P]GDP in the presence of T1 ribonuclease the 3'-hydroxyl group of each fragment becomes phosphorylated. The degree of phosphorylation is reasonably uniform. The method has been applied to T1 ribonuclease digests of Escherichia coli tRNA(Met) (f); the oligonucleotides were further analyzed by spleen phosphodiesterase digestion. In a similar manner fingerprints of pancreatic ribonuclease digests of RNA can be obtained, when [alpha-(32)P]UDP, polynucleotide phosphorylase and pancreatic ribonuclease are used.

Abstract
High-resolution 300-MHz proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the hydrogen-bounded protons in three different purified tRNA molecules are presented. The resonances in the region between -11 and -15 ppm from 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate (DSS) are assigned to the ring NH protons of specific base pairs by two approaches. First, intrinsic positions of -14.8 ppm and -13.7 ppm are taken for the AU and GC ring NH protons, respectively, and the spectra are calculated by including ring current shifts from the nearest neighbors. The spectra calculated in this way on the basis of the cloverleaf are in good agreement with the observed. Second, fragments of yeast tRNA(Phe) were obtained, which helped in assignments of the spectrum of intact molecules. The close agreement strongly supports the cloverleaf model. Tertiary structural features were determined in a few cases where the ring currents at the terminal base pairs of helical regions depended upon stacking of the helices. In this way, we were able to show that in Escherichia coli tRNA(Glu) the CCA stem forms a continuous helix with the TPsiC stem, which is in accord with the preliminary x-ray structure of yeast tRNA(Phe), suggesting that this stacking is observed in solution and may be a general property of different tRNA molecules. Similar reasoning suggests that in E. coli tRNA(fMet) G-27 is stacked upon the dihydrouridine helix.

Abstract
Analyses were performed on the purified initiator tRNA from rabbit liver to test for the presence of Psip and Tp in this molecule. Neither of these nucleotides could be detected after hydrolysis by piperidine, NaOH, or T2 RNase. Similarly digestion with venom phosphodiesterase plus phosphatase failed to release any pseudourdine or ribothymidine. Identical results were obtained with the initiator tRNA from sheep mammary gland. The absence of these nucleosides was confirmed by pancreatic and T1 RNase digestion of the rabbit-liver initiator tRNA. The classical G-T-Psi-C sequence was not detected in this molecule. An A-U-C-G sequence has been identified; it may possibly replace the G-T-Psi-C sequence.

Abstract
Raman spectrum of purified formylmethionine transfer RNA from Escherichia coli has been observed in its aqueous solution. In the 1800 to 200 cm(-l) range, about 30 Raman lines are found, each of which can be assigned to one of the constituent nucleotide residues. From the positions and intensities of the lines, information on the intramolecular environments of these base residues can be obtained.
