Ectopic genes encoding cy-tRNAs rescue the metabolic phenotypes of tit1-Δ cells. (AC) Growth efficiency of various S. pombe cells transformed with empty vector (ev), Tit1+, or the genes for tRNAs as indicated to the left (see text) were monitored. This was done by spotting serial dilutions onto EMM plates with glucose (A), or with glucose and containing rapamycin at 50 ng/mL (B), or glycerol as the carbon source (C). +5 tRNAs = one gene each for tRNASerAGA, tRNASerUGA, tRNASerCGA, tRNATyr, and tRNATrp on the same plasmid; +3 tRNAs Ser = one each for tRNASerAGA, tRNASerUGA, tRNASerCGA; +2X-Ser-AGA = two genes for tRNASerAGA. (D) The cells were also spotted onto EMM with limiting amount of adenine (10 mg/L) to reveal suppressor-tRNA-mediated opal suppression of ade6-704 in the same cells (see text).
