Mitochondrial RNAs are modified posttranscriptionally. These modifications are required for proper functioning of RNA molecules, and thereby contribute to essential mitochondrial processes. Herein, we describe our latest mass spectrometry-based platform for analysis of posttranscriptional modifications of mitochondrial tRNAs, and measuring the in vitro activity of mitochondrial RNA-modifying enzymes.
线粒体 RNA 是转录后修饰的。这些修饰对于 RNA 分子的正常功能是必需的,从而有助于基本的线粒体过程。本文中,我们描述了最新基于质谱的平台,用于分析线粒体 tRNA 的转录后修饰,并测量线粒体 RNA 修饰酶的体外活性。
