Two mutants of Escherichia coli, trmC1 and trmC2, which are defective in the synthesis of 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (mnm5s2U) were utilized to study the function of this complex modified nucleoside. Transfer RNA specific for glutamine, glutamic acid and lysine and a specific ochre suppressor derived from lysine tRNA .**GRAPHIC**. encoded by the supG allele), contain this modified nucleoside at position 34 (the wobble position). Two different undermodified derivatives of mnm5s2U were present in the 2 trmC mutants, which suggests that the 2 mutations affect 2 different enzymatic activities. Using the lacI-Z fusion system it was found that the efficiency of supG-mediated suppression was reduced to 30-90% of the wild-type value in the trmC mutants. The modification-deficient supG-tRNA in the mutants showed a higher sensitivity to codon context than the normal .**GRAPHIC**.
