Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011 Received December 26, 1986; Revised Manuscript Received September 9, 1987 abstract: Features of the 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of three purified 5-fluorouracil-(FUra-) substituted Escherichia coli tRNAs, tRNA7al, tRNA^ et, and tRNAf1® 1, are compared. Each of the tRNA species can be resolved into two isoaccepting forms, A and B, whose 19F NMR spectra differ in the shift of one peak from the 4.5 to 4.8 parts per million (ppm) range (FUra=0) in the spectrum of isoacceptor B upfield to ca.-15 ppm in that of isoacceptor A. Because the sequences of the two isoacceptors of each tRNA differ only at one position in the D loop, that normally occupied by a dihydrouridine residue, we assign the 4.5 ppm peak in the spectrum of fluorine-labeled tRNA^ al to FUra 17 and the resonance at 4.6 ppm in the spectrum of fluorouracil-substituted tRNA^ et to FUra20. A reciprocal 19F {19F) nuclear Overhauser effect is observed between the downfield peaks A and B in the 19F NMR spectrum of 19F-labeled tRNA^ al. Assuming that fluorine-labeled tRNA/al has a structure similar to that of yeast tRNAPhe, only FUra54 and-55 are close enough (4-5 A) to give an appreciable 19F homonuclear Overhauser effect. Peaks A and B have therefore been assigned to FUra54 and-55. As the temperature is raised from 30 to 45 C, the intensity of peak B (6.6 ppm) in the spectrum of 19F-labeled tRNA^ al graduallyshifts upfield to 6.4 ppm (Tm= 36 C), indicating a temperature-dependent slow exchange of the corresponding 5-fluorouracil residue between two magneticallydistinct environments. Because this effect resembles the splitting of T54 methyl'H and 13C signals in the spectra of several native tRNAs [Kastrup, RV, & Schmidt, P. G.(1978) Nucleic Acids Res. 5, 257-269; Kopper, R. A., Schmidt, P. G., & Agris, PF (1983) Biochemistry 22, 1396-1401], we assign peak B to FUra54. Peak A in the spectrum of 19F-labeled tRNA| al can then be assigned to FUra55. The lowest field resonance(peak A) in the 19F spectra of each of the three tRNAs exhibits a uniquely large chemical shift change with changing ionic strength or magnesium ion concentration. This similarity suggests that peak A corresponds to a conserved base in the tRNAs and is consistent with assignment of peak A in the 19F NMR spectra of all three fluorinated tRNAs to the 5-fluorouracil residue that replaces the invariant^ 55.
