Chemical modifications of uridines in D. discoideum Ax2 wild type and mutant strains of the Elongator-dependent modification pathway. LC–UV–MS/MS analysis of Elongator-dependent modifications of uridines in purified D. discoideum tRNAs. (A) Chemical modifications (blue) of the Elongator-dependent pathway. Shown are the relative abundance of ncm5U (no chemical standard available, top) and the absolute abundance of tRNAs carrying the mcm5U (center) and mcm5s2U (bottom) modifications in the Ax2 wild type and the indicated mutant strains of the Elongator-dependent pathway. The lower limit of quantification (LOQ) is indicated with a dashed line where appropriate. (B) Additional chemical modifications of uridines observed in mutant strains of the Elongator pathway. Shown are the absolute abundance of tRNAs carrying s2U (top), cm5U (center) and ncm5s2U (bottom) modifications in the Ax2 wild type and the indicated mutant strains of the Elongator-dependent pathway. The LOQ for these modifications is indicated. These modifications (orange) are not observed in the Ax2 wild type and their structures are shown to the right. Please note the different scaling of the y-axes in panels (A) and (B).
