Characterization of trhP-mediated tRNA hydroxylation. a A shikimate pathway and related metabolism. Chemical structures of metabolites and the responsible genes (italicized) at each step are shown. Two or three genes at each step indicate a redundant pathway [e.g., prephenate is redundantly synthesized from chorismate mediated by pheA(CM) and tyrA]. Black or gray arrows represent pathways indispensable or dispensable for trhP-mediated ho5U34 formation, respectively (Supplementary Fig. 9). White arrows represent pathways not examined in this study. b Genetic complementation of ho5U34 formation. Mass-spectrometric shotgun analysis of total tRNAs obtained from the E. coli ΔpheAtyrAcmoAtrhO strain transformed with a control plasmid (left panels) or pMW-pheA(CM) (right panels). XICs show multiply charged negative ions of anticodon-containing fragments of tRNAVal1 with U34 (upper panels) and ho5U34 (lower panels). Sequence, m/z value, and charge state of each fragment are shown on the right. c Metabolic complementation of ho5U34 formation. Mass-spectrometric shotgun analysis of total tRNAs obtained from the E. coli ΔpheAtyrAcmoAtrhO strain cultured in the absence (left panels) or presence (right panels) of 1 mM prephenate. XICs show multiply charged negative ions of anticodon-containing fragments of tRNAVal1 with U34 (upper panels) and ho5U34 (lower panels). Sequence, m/z value, and charge state of each fragment are shown on the right. d Domain organization of E. coli TrhP, which contains Peptidase_U32 (PF01136) and Peptidase_U32_C (PF16325) domains. Six residues in the Peptidase_U32 domain that are essential for TrhP-mediated hydroxylation are indicated. e Mutation study of trhP. Mass-spectrometric shotgun analysis of total tRNA in the E. colitrhP strain transformed with plasmid-encoded trhP WT or mutants, as indicated. XICs show multiply charged negative ions of the anticodon-containing fragments of tRNAVal1 with U34 (black lines) and cmo5U34 (red lines) in total tRNAs. Sequence, m/z value, and charge state of each fragment are shown on the right
