Saccharomyces cerevisiae Thg1 uses 5'-pyrophosphate removal to control addition of nucleotides to tRNA(His.).
Smith B.A., Jackman J.E.
In eukaryotes, the tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase (Thg1) catalyzes 3'-5' addition of a single guanosine residue to the -1 position (G-1) of tRNA(His), across from a highly conserved adenosine at position 73 (A73). After addition of G-1, Thg1 removes pyrophosphate from the tRNA 5'-end, generating 5' ... >> More
In eukaryotes, the tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase (Thg1) catalyzes 3'-5' addition of a single guanosine residue to the -1 position (G-1) of tRNA(His), across from a highly conserved adenosine at position 73 (A73). After addition of G-1, Thg1 removes pyrophosphate from the tRNA 5'-end, generating 5'-monophosphorylated G-1-containing tRNA. The presence of the 5'-monophosphorylated G-1 residue is important for recognition of tRNA(His) by its cognate histidyl-tRNA synthetase. In addition to the single-G-1 addition reaction, Thg1 polymerizes multiple G residues to the 5'-end of tRNA(His) variants. For 3'-5' polymerization, Thg1 uses the 3'-end of the tRNA(His) acceptor stem as a template. The mechanism of reverse polymerization is presumed to involve nucleophilic attack of the 3'-OH from each incoming NTP on the intact 5'-triphosphate created by the preceding nucleotide addition. The potential exists for competition between 5'-pyrophosphate removal and 3'-5' polymerase reactions that could define the outcome of Thg1-catalyzed addition, yet the interplay between these competing reactions has not been investigated for any Thg1 enzyme. Here we establish transient kinetic assays to characterize the pyrophosphate removal versus nucleotide addition activities of yeast Thg1 with a set of tRNA(His) substrates in which the identity of the N-1:N73 base pair was varied to mimic various products of the N-1 addition reaction catalyzed by Thg1. We demonstrate that retention of the 5'-triphosphate is correlated with efficient 3'-5' reverse polymerization. A kinetic partitioning mechanism that acts to prevent addition of nucleotides beyond the -1 position with wild-type tRNA(His) is proposed. << Less

Plant mitochondria use two pathways for the biogenesis of tRNAHis.
Placido A., Sieber F., Gobert A., Gallerani R., Giege P., Marechal-Drouard L.
All tRNA(His) possess an essential extra G(-1) guanosine residue at their 5' end. In eukaryotes after standard processing by RNase P, G(-1) is added by a tRNA(His) guanylyl transferase.

All tRNA(His) possess an essential extra G(-1) guanosine residue at their 5' end. In eukaryotes after standard processing by RNase P, G(-1) is added by a tRNA(His) guanylyl transferase. In prokaryotes, G(-1) is genome-encoded and retained during maturation. In plant mitochondria, although trnH genes possess a G(-1) we find here that both maturation pathways can be used. Indeed, tRNA(His) with or without a G(-1) are found in a plant mitochondrial tRNA fraction. Furthermore, a recombinant Arabidopsis mitochondrial RNase P can cleave tRNA(His) precursors at both positions G(+1) and G(-1). The G(-1) is essential for recognition by plant mitochondrial histidyl-tRNA synthetase. Whether, as shown in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the presence of uncharged tRNA(His) without G(-1) has a function or not in plant mitochondrial gene regulation is an open question. We find that when a mutated version of a plant mitochondrial trnH gene containing no encoded extra G is introduced and expressed into isolated potato mitochondria, mature tRNA(His) with a G(-1) are recovered. This shows that a previously unreported tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase activity is present in plant mitochondria. << Less

Compared to other tRNAs all known histidine tRNAs have the unique feature of possessing an additional nucleotide at their 5' end. It is usually a guanosine residue but not in bacteriophage T5 tRNA which carries an additional uridine. The additional nucleotide is not encoded in eukaryotic histidine tRNA genes but is added in a post-transcriptional modification reaction (Cooley, L., Appel, B., and Söll, D. (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 79, 6475-6479) by histidine tRNA guanylyltransferase (tRNAHis guanylyltransferase). Here we report the purification of this enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the determination of some of its physical properties. Six different steps including Polymin P precipitation, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, heparin-agarose, ATP-agarose, and gel filtration on Superose 12 were employed for the purification of the guanylyltransferase from an S-100 extract. A Stokes radius of 46.5 +/- 0.5 A and a sedimentation coefficient (S20,w) of 7.8 +/-0.2 were determined by gel filtration and rate zonal sedimentation, respectively. A relative molecular weight (Mr) of approximately 120,000 was calculated for the purified native enzyme. The Mr of the denatured protein is approximately 58,000 as demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These results indicate a homodimeric (alpha 2) structure for the enzyme. Among all acceptor RNAs in unfractionated tRNA only tRNAHis is a substrate for the purified guanylyltransferase. The reaction requires ATP, a guanosine substrate, and a divalent metal ion. Treatment of guanylyltransferase with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic)-acid abolishes activity; this suggests the importance of sulfhydryl groups for enzymatic activity. The enzyme shows discrimination among different histidine tRNA species; tRNA from plant and prokaryotes are better substrates than mammalian and insect tRNAs. << Less

Yeast histidine tRNA guanylyltransferase (TGT) catalyzes in the presence of ATP the addition of GTP to the 5' end of eukaryotic cytoplasmic tRNAHis species. A study of the enzyme mechanism with purified protein showed that during the first step ATP is cleaved to AMP and PPi creating adenylylated TGT. In a second step the activated enzyme forms a stable complex with its cognate tRNA substrate. The 5'-phosphate of the tRNA is adenylylated by nucleotide transfer from the adenylylated guanylyltransferase to form A(5')pp(5')N at the 5'-end of the tRNA. Finally, the 3'-hydroxyl of GTP adds to the activated 5' terminus of the tRNA with the release of AMP. This mechanism of tRNAHis guanylyltransferase is very similar to that of RNA ligases. dATP can substitute for ATP in this reaction. Since among several guanosine compounds active in this reaction GTP is most efficiently added we believe that it is the natural substrate of TGT. << Less

All tRNAHis molecules are unusual in having an extra 5' GMP residue (G(-1)) that, in eukaryotes, is added after transcription and RNase P cleavage. Incorporation of this G(-1) residue is a rare example of nucleotide addition occurring at an RNA 5' end in a normal phosphodiester linkage. We show here that the essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae ORF YGR024c (THG1) is responsible for this guanylyltransferase reaction. Thg1p was identified by survey of a genomic collection of yeast GST-ORF fusion proteins for addition of [alpha-32P]GTP to tRNAHis. End analysis confirms the presence of G(-1). Thg1p is required for tRNAHis guanylylation in vivo, because cells depleted of Thg1p lack G(-1) in their tRNAHis. His6-Thg1p purified from Escherichia coli catalyzes the guanylyltransferase step of G(-1) addition using a ppp-tRNAHis substrate, and appears to catalyze the activation step using p-tRNAHis and ATP. Thg1p is highlye conserved in eukaryotes, where G(-1) addition is necessary, and is not found in eubacteria, where G(-1) is genome-encoded. Thus, Thg1p is the first member of a new family of enzymes that can catalyze phosphodiester bond formation at the 5' end of RNAs, formally in a 3'-5' direction. Surprisingly, despite its varied activities, Thg1p contains no recognizable catalytic or functional domains. << Less

The yeast tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase (Thg1) is an essential enzyme in yeast. Thg1 adds a single G residue to the 5' end of tRNA(His) (G(-1)), which serves as a crucial determinant for aminoacylation of tRNA(His). Thg1 is the only known gene product that catalyzes the 3'-5' addition of a single nucleotide via a normal phosphodiester bond, and since there is no identifiable sequence similarity between Thg1 and any other known enzyme family, the mechanism by which Thg1 catalyzes this unique reaction remains unclear. We have altered 29 highly conserved Thg1 residues to alanine, and using three assays to assess Thg1 catalytic activity and substrate specificity, we have demonstrated that the vast majority of these highly conserved residues (24/29) affect Thg1 function in some measurable way. We have identified 12 Thg1 residues that are critical for G(-1) addition, based on significantly decreased ability to add G(-1) to tRNA(His) in vitro and significant defects in complementation of a thg1Delta yeast strain. We have also identified a single Thg1 alteration (D68A) that causes a dramatic decrease in the rigorous specificity of Thg1 for tRNA(His). This single alteration enhances the k(cat)/K(M) for ppp-tRNA(Phe) by nearly 100-fold relative to that of wild-type Thg1. These results suggest that Thg1 substrate recognition is at least in part mediated by preventing recognition of incorrect substrates for nucleotide addition. << Less

All known DNA and RNA polymerases catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds in a 5' to 3' direction, suggesting this property is a fundamental feature of maintaining and dispersing genetic information. The tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase (Thg1) is a member of a unique enzyme family whose members catalyze an unprecedented reaction in biology: 3'-5' addition of nucleotides to nucleic acid substrates. The 2.3-Å crystal structure of human THG1 (hTHG1) reported here shows that, despite the lack of sequence similarity, hTHG1 shares unexpected structural homology with canonical 5'-3' DNA polymerases and adenylyl/guanylyl cyclases, two enzyme families known to use a two-metal-ion mechanism for catalysis. The ability of the same structural architecture to catalyze both 5'-3' and 3'-5' reactions raises important questions concerning selection of the 5'-3' mechanism during the evolution of nucleotide polymerases. << Less

The tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase (Thg1) family of enzymes comprises members from all three domains of life (Eucarya, Bacteria, Archaea). Although the initial activity associated with Thg1 enzymes was a single 3'-to-5' nucleotide addition reaction that specifies tRNA(His) identity in eukaryotes, the discovery of a generalized base pair-dependent 3'-to-5' polymerase reaction greatly expanded the scope of Thg1 family-catalyzed reactions to include tRNA repair and editing activities in bacteria, archaea, and organelles. While the identification of the 3'-to-5' polymerase activity associated with Thg1 enzymes is relatively recent, the roots of this discovery and its likely physiological relevance were described ≈ 30 yr ago. Here we review recent advances toward understanding diverse Thg1 family enzyme functions and mechanisms. We also discuss possible evolutionary origins of Thg1 family-catalyzed 3'-to-5' addition activities and their implications for the currently observed phylogenetic distribution of Thg1-related enzymes in biology. << Less
