“…Such sort of H bonding bridges was also noted in the case of 'wobble' 34th position protonated variant hypermodified nucleoside pQH? during MD simulation [34] as well as in case of other biomolecules [42,44]. These effects are also in close harmony with LA-MB-FTMW spectroscopy studied stable conformer I of isolated 2-amino-ethanesulfonic acid, taurine [68].…”

“…Conformational preferences of hypermodified nucleoside 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine 5 0 -monophosphate, 'p-sm 5 s 2 U', have been investigated in silico by using semiempirical Recife Model 1 (RM1) [36]. RM1 method has been useful to search conformational space of diverse organic and bioorganic molecules [37][38][39][40][41] and extensively used on account of its accurate and reasonable results [42][43][44][45]. The detailed process for conformational search in the multidimensional conformational space has already been described in our previous studies [42][43][44].…”

“…Full geometry optimization of anticodon loop having hypermodified nucleosides 'sm 5 s 2 U' at 34th and 't 6 A' at 37th positions, respectively, has been done using RM1 method. The ribose-phosphate backbone torsion angles were kept constant (freeze) during the optimization process as per earlier study [44].…”

The myoclonus epilepsy associated with ragged-red fibers (MERRF) is a mitochondrial encephalomyopathic disease caused due to the lack of hypermodified nucleoside 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine at 'wobble' 34th position in the anticodon loop of human mitochondrial tRNA Lys . Understanding the structural significance of sm 5 s 2 U might be helpful to get more information about the MERRF disease in detail at the atomic level. Hence, conformational preferences of hypermodified nucleoside 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine 5 0 -monophosphate, 'p-sm 5 s 2 U,' have been studied using semiempirical quantum chemical RM1 method. Full geometry optimization using ab initio molecular orbital HF-SCF (6-31G**) and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G**) methods has also been used to compare the salient features. The RM1 preferred most stable conformation of 'p-sm 5 s 2 U' has been stabilized by hydrogen bonding interactions between O(11a)…HN (8), O1P (34) … HN(8), O1P (34) …HC(10), O4 0 (34) …HC(6), S(2)…HC1 0 (34), O5 0 (34) …HC(6), and O(4)…HC (7). Another conformational study of 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine side chain in the presence of anticodon loop bases of human mitochondrial tRNA Lys showed similar conformation as found in RM1 preferred most stable conformation of 'p-sm 5 s 2 U.' The glycosyl torsion angle of sm 5 s 2 U retains 'anti' conformation. Similarly, MD simulation results are also found in accordance with RM1 preferred stable structure. The solvent-accessible surface area calculations revealed surface accessibility of sm 5 s 2 U in human mt tRNA Lys anticodon loop. The MEPs calculations of codon-anticodon models of sm 5 s 2 U (34) :G 3 and sm 5 s 2 U (34) :A 3 showed unique potential tunnels between the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor atoms. These results might be useful to understand the exact role of sm 5 s 2 U (34) to recognize AAG/ AAA codons and to design new strategies to prevent mitochondrial disease, MERRF.

Conformational preferences of modified nucleoside, N(4)-acetylcytidine, ac(4)C have been investigated using quantum chemical semi-empirical RM1 method. Automated geometry optimization using PM3 method along with ab initio methods HF SCF (6-31G**), and density functional theory (DFT; B3LYP/6-31G**) have also been made to compare the salient features. The most stable conformation of N(4)-acetyl group of ac(4)C prefers "proximal" orientation. This conformation is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between O(7)···HC(5), O(2)···HC2', and O4'···HC(6). The "proximal" conformation of N(4)-acetyl group has also been observed in another conformational study of anticodon loop of E. coli elongator tRNA(Met). The solvent accessible surface area (SASA) calculations revealed the role of ac(4)C in anticodon loop. The explicit molecular dynamics simulation study also shows the "proximal" orientation of N(4)-acetyl group. The predicted "proximal" conformation would allow ac(4)C to interact with third base of codon AUG/AUA whereas the 'distal' orientation of N(4)-acetyl cytidine side-chain prevents such interactions. Single point energy calculation studies of various models of anticodon-codon bases revealed that the models ac(4)C(34)(Proximal):G3, and ac(4)C(34)(Proximal):A3 are energetically more stable as compared to models ac(4)C(34)(Distal):G3, and ac(4)C(34)(Distal):A3, respectively. MEPs calculations showed the unique potential tunnels between the hydrogen bond donor-acceptor atoms of ac(4)C(34)(Proximal):G3/A3 base pairs suggesting role of ac(4)C in recognition of third letter of codons AUG/AUA. The "distal" conformation of ac(4)C might prevent misreading of AUA codon. Hence, this study could be useful to understand the role of ac(4)C in the tertiary structure folding of tRNA as well as in the proper recognition of codons during protein biosynthesis process.
