2.8.1.4 C265A cells expressing the C265A variant show 88% decrease in their 4-thiouridine level. The mutant enzyme contains no detectable amount of persulfide 725494 2.8.1.4 C268A cells expressing the C265A variant contain no 4-thiouridine. The mutant enzyme contains no detectable amount of persulfide 725494 2.8.1.4 C348A cells expressing the C348A variant show 33% decreases in their 4-thiouridine levels. The mutant enzyme contains no detectable amount of persulfide 725494 2.8.1.4 C78A cells expressing the C78A variant show 8% decrease in their 4-thiouridine levels. The C78A variant has similar amounts of persulfide as the wild-type protein 725494 2.8.1.4 additional information Ctu1 (cytosolic tRNA thiouridilase) associates with the conserved Ctu2 protein and this complex is the wobble uridine-34 thiolase of cytosolic tRNAs in eukaryotes, the complex is essential to maintaining genome stability 694891 2.8.1.4 additional information Ctu1 (cytosolic tRNA thiouridylase) associates with the conserved Ctu2 protein and this complex is the wobble uridine-34 thiolase of cytosolic tRNAs in eukaryotes, the complex is essential to maintaining genome stability 694891 2.8.1.4 additional information single or double deletion mutants of the fission yeast ctu1 and ctu2 genes results in a thermosensitive lethal phenotype reminiscent of the inactivation of their worm counterparts 694891
