An extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus HB 8, contains two types of tRNAs, T- and S2T-containing tRNAs. Their relative content changes depend on the growth temperature of the bacterial cells (1-3). To elucidate the reason why the extreme thermophile possesses the

From Thermus thermophilus HB8 grown at 65 degrees C, two major tRNAIle species have been purified by column chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The nucleotide sequence of one of these two tRNAIle1 species (tRNAIle1a) has been determined to be pGGGCGAUUAGCUCAGCUGmGUDAGAGCGCACGCCUGAUt6AAGCGUGAGm7GUCGGUGGs2T

5-Methyl-2-thiouridine (S) in tRNA-Met-f from an extreme thermophile is located in the TpsiC region, replacing T, and has a positive CD band centered at 310 nm. Upon heating, the profiles of the change in this band were similar to the

1H-NMR analyses have been made on the conformations of 2-thioribothymidine (s2T), 2-thiodeoxyribothymidine (s2dT), as well as ribothymidine (T) and deoxyribothymidine (dT). s2T and s2dT exclusively take the anti form rather than the syn form. The C3'-endo-gg form of the sugar
