FIGURE 3.

The biologically important Sp Trm7 tRNA substrate is tRNAPhe. (A) Overexpression of tRNAPhe suppresses the near lethality of S. pombe trm7▵ mutants. Strains with plasmids as indicated were grown overnight in EMM-Leu and analyzed as in Figure 2A, after incubation for 3 d at 30°C. (B) Overexpression of tRNAPhe in S. pombe trm7▵ mutants does not completely restore wild-type growth at 37°C. Strains as indicated were purified on 5-FOA to ensure loss of the [Pnmt1** Sp trm7+ ura4+] plasmid, grown overnight in EMM-Leu, and then growth was analyzed as indicated in Figure 2A. (C) tRNAPhe from the S. pombe trm7▵ [tRNAPhe] strain lacks yW. tRNAPhe purified from the indicated strains after growth in EMM-Leu was analyzed as described in Figure 2C.
