abstract = {Reverse transcription of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ty1 retrotransposon is primed by tRNA(iMet) base paired to the primer binding site (PBS) near the 5' end of Ty1 genomic RNA. The 10-nucleotide PBS is complementary to the last 10 nucleotides of the acceptor stem of tRNA(iMet). A structural probing study of the interactions between the Ty1 RNA template and the tRNA(iMet) primer showed that besides interactions between the PBS and the 3' end of tRNA(iMet), three short regions of Ty1 RNA, named boxes 0, 1, and 2.1, interact with the T and D stems and loops of tRNA(iMet). To determine if these sequences are important for the reverse transcription pathway of the Ty1 retrotransposon, mutant Ty1 elements and tRNA(iMet) were tested for the ability to support transposition. We show that the Ty1 boxes and the complementary sequences in the T and D stems and loops of tRNA(iMet) contain bases that are critical for Ty1 retrotransposition. Disruption of 1 or 2 bp between tRNA(iMet) and box 0, 1, or 2.1 dramatically decreases the level of transposition. Compensatory mutations which restore base pairing between the primer and the template restore transposition. Analysis of the reverse transcription intermediates generated inside Ty1 virus-like particles indicates that initiation of minus-strand strong-stop DNA synthesis is affected by mutations disrupting complementarity between Ty1 RNA and primer tRNA(iMet).},

abstract = {We have previously shown that the yeast gene PUS1 codes for a tRNA:pseudouridine synthase and that recombinant Pus1p catalyzes, in an intron-dependent way, the formation of psi34 and psi36 in the anticodon loop of the yeast minor tRNA(Ile) in vitro (Simos G et al., 1996, EMBO J 15:2270-2284). Using a set of T7 transcripts of different tRNA genes, we now demonstrate that yeast pseudouridine synthase 1 catalyzes in vitro pseudouridine formation at positions 27 and/or 28 in several yeast cytoplasmic tRNAs and at position 35 in the intron-containing tRNA(Tyr) (anticodon GUA). Thus, Pus1p not only displays a broad specificity toward the RNA substrates, but is also capable of catalyzing the pseudouridine (psi) formation at distinct noncontiguous sites within the same tRNA molecule. The cell-free extract prepared from the yeast strain bearing disrupted gene PUS1 is unable to catalyze the formation of psi27, psi28, psi34, and psi36 in vitro, however, psi35 formation in the intron-containing tRNA(Tyr)(GUA) remains unaffected. Thus, in yeast, only one gene product accounts for tRNA pseudouridylation at positions 27, 28, 34, and 36, whereas for position 35 in tRNA(Tyr), another site-specific tRNA:pseudouridine synthase with overlapping specificity exists. Mapping of pseudouridine residues present in various tRNAs extracted from the PUS1-disrupted strain confirms the in vitro data obtained with the recombinant Pus1p. In addition, they suggest that Pus1p is implicated in modification at positions U26, U65, and U67 in vivo.},

abstract = {Reverse transcription of the yeast Ty1 retrotransposon is primed by tRNAi(Met) base paired to the primer binding site near the 5'-end of Ty1 genomic RNA. To understand the molecular basis of the tRNAi(Met)-Ty1 RNA interaction the secondary structure of the binary complex was analysed. Enzymatic probes were used to test the conformation of tRNAi(Met) and of Ty1 RNA in the free form and in the complex. A secondary structure model of the tRNAi(Met) Ty1 RNA complex consistent with the probing data was constructed with the help of a computer program. The model shows that besides interactions between the primer binding site and the last 10 nt at the 3'-end of tRNAi(Met), three short regions of Ty1 RNA named boxes 0, 1 and 2.1 interact with the T and D stems and loops of tRNAiMet. Mutations were made in the boxes or in the complementary sequences of tRNAi(Met) to study the contribution of these sequences to formation of the complex. We find that interaction with at least one of the two boxes 0 or 1 is absolutely required for efficient annealing of the two RNAs. Sequence comparison showing that the primary sequence of the boxes is strictly conserved in Ty1 and Ty2 elements and previously published in vivo results underline the functional importance of the primary sequence of the boxes and suggest that extended interactions between genomic Ty1 RNA and the primary tRNAi(Met) play a role in the reverse transcription pathway.},

abstract = {A yeast nuclear protein that binds to tRNA was identified using a RNA mobility shift assay. Northwestern blotting and N-terminal sequencing experiments indicate that this tRNA-binding protein is identical to zuotin which has previously been shown to bind to Z-DNA [(1992) EMBO J. 11, 3787-3796]. Labeled tRNA and poly(dG-m5dC) stabilized in the Z-DNA form identify the same protein on a Northwestern blot. In a gel retardation assay poly(dG-m5dC) in the Z-form strongly diminishes the binding of tRNA to zuotin. These studies establish that zuotin is able to bind to both tRNA and Z-DNA. Zuotin may be transiently associated with tRNA in the nucleus of yeast cells and play a role in its processing or transport to the cytoplasm.},

abstract = {A single-strand-specific nuclease from rye germ (Rn nuclease I) was used for secondary and tertiary structure investigations of tRNAs with large variable arms (class II tRNAs). We have studied the structure in solution of two recently sequenced tRNA(Leu): yeast tRNA(Leu)(ncm5UmAA) and bovine tRNA(Leu)(XmAA) as well as yeast tRNA(Leu)(UAG), tRNA(Leu)(m5CAA) and tRNA(Ser)(IGA). The latter is the only tRNA with a long variable arm for which the secondary and tertiary structure has already been studied by use of chemical probes and computer modelling. The data obtained in this work showed that the general model of class II tRNAs proposed by others for tRNA(Ser) can be extended to tRNAs(Leu) as well. However interesting differences in the structure of tRNAs(Leu) versus tRNA(Ser)(IGA) were also noticed. The main difference was observed in the accessibility of the variable loops to nucleolytic attack of Rn nuclease I: variable loops of all studied tRNA(Leu) species were cut by Rn nuclease I, while that of yeast tRNA(Ser)(IGA) was not. This could be due to differences in stability of the variable arms and the lengths of their loops which are 3 and 4 nucleotides in tRNA(Ser)(IGA) and tRNAs(Leu) respectively.},
