additional information | the thermosensitive growth phenotype of deg1 mutants is specifically suppressible by overexpression of tRNAGln UUG but not tRNAGln CUG or any other tRNA carrying U38 or U39, which is modified by Deg1 to Psi, with clear suppression of deg1-induced thermosensitivity by multicopy tRNAGln UUG but not tRNAGln CUG or other tester tRNAs. Rescue by multicopy tRNAGln UUG is clearly incomplete as growth at 39°C is not fully restored to wild-type levels. Negative genetic interactions between DEG1, Elongator and URM1 can be extended to conditions of TORC1 inhibition, rapamycin sensitivity of deg1, urm1 and elp3 single and all possible double mutant combinations, overview. Deletion of the DEG1 gene in strain W303-1B and score of adenine auxotrophy as well as color colony in direct comparison with an elp3 mutant that is known to affect SUP4-mediated read-through | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |

malfunction | loss of Deg1/Pus3 and concomitant elimination of pseudouridine in tRNA at positions 38 and 39 (Psi38/39) specifically impairs the function of tRNAGln UUG under conditions of temperature-induced downregulation of wobble uridine thiolation in budding yeast. In the tRNATyr GPspiA variant SUP4, UAA read-through is enabled due to an anticodon mutation (UPsiA), whereas sup70-65 is a mutant form of tRNAGln CUG (SUP70) that mediates UAG decoding due to a mutation of the anticodon-loop closing base pair (G31:C39 to A31:C39). While SUP4 function is unaltered in deg1/pus3 mutants, the ability of sup70-65 to mediate non-sense suppression and to complement a genomic deletion of the essential SUP70 gene is severely compromised. Differential suppression of growth defects in deg1 mutants by multi-copy SUP70 or tQ(UUG). Phenotypic effects of DEG1 deletion may be rescuable by overexpression of tRNAGln UUG, since this is the major Gln isoacceptor and consequently more important for overall translation as compared to the minor tRNAGln CUG | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
physiological function | in yeast, Deg1 dependent formation of Psi occurs in a majority of tRNAs either at position 38 or 39. Psi38 is most important for tRNAGln UUG function under heat stress but becomes crucial for tRNAGln CUG as well when the anticodon loop is destabilized by the sup70-65 mutation. Thus, Psi38/39 may protect the anticodon loop configuration from disturbances by loss of other modifications or base changes. Deg1-mediated Psi39 in itself does not detectably impact on the function of SUP4 in non-sense suppression in two different read-through contexts.
