Polyadenylated pre-tRNAiMet contains the 5′ leader sequence. (A) Northern hybridization analysis of total RNA (5 μg) and poly(A)+ RNA (2–4 μg) from trm6-504 (Y190) and wild type (Y200). (B) Northern hybridization of total RNA (5 μg) and poly(A)+ RNA (2–4 μg) from trm6-504 rrp6Δ (Y298) with (+) or without (−) pretreatment with oligo d(T) and RNaseH. The blots were hybridized with radiolabeled probes (JA382, JA72, JA66, and JA48) that recognize only pre-tRNAiMet containing the 5′ leader (A,B, lanes 1–3) or a radiolabeled probe (JA11) that is complementary to an internal portion of tRNAiMet (B, lanes 4–6). The point of migration of pre-tRNAiMet and mature tRNAiMet are shown for clarity.
