5xFAD mice accumulate intron-containing pre-tRNAs. tRNAs were isolated from 7-month-old WT and 5xFAD mice and sequenced by Hydro-tRNA-seq. The percentage of normalized counts for precursor (A) and mature (B) tRNA is depicted, classified by amino acid and anticodon (pre-tRNA-Ala-TGC: t6 = 2.692, P = 0.0360; pre-tRNA-Arg-TCT: t5 = 3.364, P = 0.0200; pre-tRNA-Asp-GTC: t6 = 2.635, P = 0.0388; pre-tRNA-Ile-TAT: t5 = 2.986, P = 0.0306; pre-tRNA-Leu-CAA: t6 = 3.440, P = 0.0138; pre-tRNA-Sec-TCA: t6 = 2.496, P = 0.0468; pre-tRNA-Tyr-GTA: t6 = 3.264, P = 0.0172) (tRNA-Asp-GTC: t6 = 3.332, P = 0.0158; tRNA-Ile-AAT: t6 = 3.814, P = 0.0088; tRNA-Ser-CGA: t6 = 2.771, P = 0.0324). The red rectangles surrounding certain anticodons indicate that at least one of those pre-tRNA isodecoders has an intron. Data are means ± SEM. In all comparisons Student’s t-test was performed. Values were excluded when they were classified as outliers with either the ROUT or the Grubbs’ test from Graphpad Prism software. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01.
