Mung bean nuclease protection assay. (A) Graphic representation of Mung bean nuclease protection assay used in the present study for the analysis of specific position of modified m3U nucleoside in the Δyil096c and Δylr063w mutants. RP-HPLC chromatogram of the nucleosides derived from protected RNA fragments. Specific fragments of the 25S rRNA from wild type, Δyil096c and Δylr063w corresponding to both m3U2634 and m3U2843 were isolated. The status of m3U residue in these fragments were then analyzed by RP-HPLC. (B) RP-HPLC chromatogram of the fragment corresponding to m3U2634 isolated from the wild type and (C) from Δyil096c. (D) RP-HPLC chromatogram of the fragment corresponding to m3U2843, isolated from the wild type and (E) from Δylr063w. As evident from the chromatograms, the m3U2634 methylation is absent in Δyil096c, whereas m3U2843 is missing in Δylr063w. This clearly demonstrated that Yil096c and Ylr063w are involved in the methylation of m3U2634 and m3U2843, respectively.
