tRNA m<sup>1</sup>G9 modification depends on substrate-specific RNA conformational changes induced by the methyltransferase Trm10
ABSTRACT The methyltransferase Trm10 modifies a subset of tRNAs on the base N1 position of the 9th nucleotide in the tRNA core. Trm10 is conserved throughout Eukarya and Archaea, and mutations in the human gene (TRMT10A) have been linked to neurological disorders such as microcephaly and intellectual disability, as well as defects in glucose metabolism. Of the 26 tRNAs in yeast with guanosine at position 9, only 14 are substrates for Trm10. However, no common sequence or other posttranscriptional modifications have been identified among these substrates, suggesting the presence of some other tRNA feature(s) which allow Trm10 to distinguish substrate from nonsubstrate tRNAs. Here, we show that substrate recognition bySaccharomyces cerevisiaeTrm10 is dependent on both intrinsic tRNA flexibility and the ability of the enzyme to induce specific tRNA conformational changes upon binding. Using the sensitive RNA structure-probing method SHAPE, conformational changes upon binding to Trm10 in tRNA substrates, but not nonsubstrates, were identified and mapped onto a model of Trm10-bound tRNA. These changes may play an important role in substrate recognition by allowing Trm10 to gain access to the target nucleotide. Our results highlight a novel mechanism of substrate recognition by a conserved tRNA modifying enzyme. Further, these studies reveal a strategy for substrate recognition that may be broadly employed by tRNA-modifying enzymes which must distinguish between structurally similar tRNA species..
