T. acidophilum Trm1 can methylate both the elongator tRNAMet transcript and its precursor, which contains an intron. The mature transcript of elongator tRNAMet and its precursor with an intron (Figure 1D) were prepared. (A) These transcripts were incubated with T. acidophilum Trm1 and 14C-AdoMet at 50 °C for 5 min, and then separated by 10% PAGE (7 M urea) (left panel). The gel was stained with methylene blue. The samples are as follows: lane 1, mature transcript of elongator tRNAMet; lane 2, precursor of elongator tRNAMet with an intron. The right panel shows an autoradiogram of the same gel; (B) The 14C-methylated nucleosides in the mature transcript of elongator tRNAMet were analyzed by 2D-TLC.
