Ablation of Tb-Nfs1 and Tb-Mtu1 but not of Nbp35 and Tb-Cfd1 causes accumulation of non-thio-modified mitochondrial tRNATrp. RNA isolated from total cell (tot) and digitonin-extracted mitochondrial pellets (mt) of the indicated uninduced (-Tet) and induced (+Tet, 72 h for Tb-Nfs1, Tb-Nbp35, Tb-Cfd1, and 120 h for Tb-Mtu1) RNAi cell lines were separated on APM-containing polyacrylamide gels. Positions of thio-modified (thio-tRNA) and non-thio-modified tRNAs (non-thio-tRNA) are indicated. The top panel shows the ethidium bromide-stained gel. The bottom panel shows the corresponding Northern blot probed for the tRNATrp. The numbers at the bottom indicate the percentage (±S.E.) of non-thio-modified mitochondrial tRNATrp before (-Tet) and after (+Tet) induction of RNAi.
