Abstract excerpt
Several phosphorothioate-modified E coli and yeast pre-tRNAs were synthesized. If this modification included the phosphodiester at the RNase P cleavage site, two different effects were observed. With some pre-tRNAs the RNase P cleavage efficiency was severely reduced, whereas with other pre-tRNAs a new reaction type for RNase P was observed. Unlike the previously studied base or ribose modifications,...
