Several modified nucleosides were introduced during in vitro RNA synthesis into a pre-tRNA(Ser). The pre-tRNAs were used as substrates for RNase P enzymes. No effects were observed with biotin-8-ATP or [alpha-S]-GPT, whereas with m7GTP, the cleavage reaction was completely inhibited. Analysis of pre-tRNAs which contained m7G at various positions has revealed a single base at the 5'-end of the acceptor stem where this modification absolutely prevents cleavage by catalytic M1 RNA, eukaryotic and prokaryotic RNase P holoenzymes. These results suggest that a critical contact must be made between pre-tRNA substrate and enzyme/ribozyme or that the approach of the potential cleaving agent (a positive magnesium ion) is made impossible by the positive charge at N-7 of the guanosine. In addition, we have shown that a pre-tRNA containing only m7G's can still form a complex with M1 RNA in a gel retardation assay.

The methylation of one specific guanosine in a pre-tRNA prevents cleavage by RNase P and by the catalytic M1 RNA
