摘要: The mod5-1 mutation is a nuclear in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that reduces the biosynthesis of N6-(delta 2-isopentenyl)adenosine both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial tRNAs to less than 1.5% wild-type levels. tRNA modification enzyme, delta 2-isopentenyl pyrophosphate:tRNA isopentenyl transferase, cannot be detected vitro with extracts from cells. A characterization MOD5 gene would help determine how same enzyme activity different cellular compartments can abolished by single mutation. To end we have cloned shown it restores transferase mitochondria nucleus/cytoplasm yeast That sequences are expressed Escherichia coli complement an 2-isopentenyl)-2-methylthioadenosine-deficient E. mutant leads us conclude structural for transferase.
