Transfer RNA modifications and modifying enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Johansson, Marcus J.O. LU and Byström, Anders S. (2005) In Topics in Current Genetics 12. p.87-120
Abstract
Transfer RNAs are adaptor molecules, which decode mRNA into protein and,
thereby, play a central role in gene expression. During the maturation of a primary
tRNA transcript, specific subsets of the four normal nucleosides adenosine,
cytidine, guanosine, and uridine are modified. The formation of a modified nucleoside
can require more than one gene product and may involve several enzymatic
steps. In the last few years, the identification of gene products required for
formation of modified nucleosides in tRNA has dramatically increased. In this review,
proteins involved in modification of cytoplasmic tRNAs in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae are described, emphasizing phenotypic characteristics of... (More)

deficient strains and genetic approaches used to determine the in vivo role of
modified nucleosides/ modifying enzymes. (Less)
