RESUMO

The role of RNA methylations in the control of tRNA production and utilization for protein biosynthesis has been investigated through a study of the effects in vivo of cycloleucine a specific and potent inhibitor of S adenosyl-methionine mediated methylation. During the cycloleucine treatment, the rate of appearance of newly synthetized tRNAs into the cytoplasm is markedly reduced (about 50%). These molecules are extensively (more than 90%) undermethylated and are integrated into polysomes, but at a slower rate than normally methylated tRNAs.
