Yeast tRNA precursor is efficiently processed by recombinant Trz1. (A) Processing of an in vitro transcribed yeast nuclear pre-tRNASer by 100 ng of recombinant Trz1. Lane p, processing reaction; lane c, control reaction without the protein. Precursor and products (mature tRNA and a 3′ trailer) are shown schematically on the right; dashed line denotes the intron in tRNASer; DNA size marker (lane M, in nt) is shown on the left. (B) Determination of Trz1 cleavage site in vitro on pre-tRNASer by primer extension. The major cleavage after the discriminator base and two additional, minor cleavages are indicated with arrows. A processing reaction was carried out with nonlabeled pre-tRNA, and the resulting 3′-trailer product was isolated and used as a template in the primer extension reaction. Sequencing reaction (lanes G,A,T,C) performed with the same primer (YC1) is shown on the left. The location of the primer relative to the tRNA is illustrated schematically at the bottom.
