The Effect of tRNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> Isopentenylation on Selenoprotein Expression
Transfer RNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> carries multiple post-transcriptional modifications. The A37G mutation in tRNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> abrogates isopentenylation of base 37 and has a profound effect on selenoprotein expression in mice. Patients with a homozygous pathogenic p.R323Q...

Transfer RNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> carries multiple post-transcriptional modifications. The A37G mutation in tRNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup> abrogates isopentenylation of base 37 and has a profound effect on selenoprotein expression in mice. Patients with a homozygous pathogenic p.R323Q variant in tRNA-isopentenyl-transferase (<i>TRIT1</i>) show a severe neurological disorder, and hence we wondered whether selenoprotein expression was impaired. Patient fibroblasts with the homozygous p.R323Q variant did not show a general decrease in selenoprotein expression. However, recombinant human TRIT1<sup>R323Q</sup> had significantly diminished activities towards several tRNA substrates in vitro. We thus engineered mice conditionally deficient in <i>Trit1</i> in hepatocytes and neurons. Mass-spectrometry revealed that hypermodification of U<sub>34</sub> to mcm<sup>5</sup>Um occurs independently of isopentenylation of A<sub>37</sub> in tRNA<sup>[Ser]Sec</sup>. Western blotting and <sup>75</sup>Se metabolic labeling showed only moderate effects on selenoprotein levels and <sup>75</sup>Se incorporation.
