Queuosine (Q) is a hypermodified RNA nucleoside that is found in tRNAHis, tRNAAsn, tRNATyr, and tRNAAsp. It is located at the wobble position of the tRNA anticodon loop, where it can interact with U as well as C bases located at the respective position of the corresponding mRNA codons. In tRNATyr and tRNAAsp of higher eukaryotes, including humans, the Q base is for yet unknown reasons further modified by the addition of a galactose and a mannose sugar, respectively. The reason for this additional modification, and how the sugar modification is orchestrated with Q formation and insertion, is unknown. Here, we report a total synthesis of the hypermodified nucleoside galactosyl-queuosine (galQ). The availability of the compound enabled us to study the absolute levels of the Q-family nucleosides in six different organs of newborn and adult mice, and also in human cytosolic tRNA. Our synthesis now paves the way to a more detailed analysis of the biological function of the Q-nucleoside family.

Nature relies on reading and synthesizing the genetic code with high fidelity. Nucleic acid building blocks that are orthogonal to the canonical A-T and G-C base-pairs are therefore uniquely suitable to facilitate position-specific labeling of nucleic aci

Synthesis of the transfer-RNA nucleoside queuosine by using a chiral allyl azide intermediate

Chilled out: Chiral allyl azides are rarely used in natural product synthesis because of their tendency to undergo a [3.3] sigmatropic rearrangement (see scheme, top). In allylic cyclopentenyl azides, this rearrangement can be suppressed at just 0°C, enabling a short convergent synthesis of the hypermodified transfer-RNA nucleoside queuosine.
