The 2-thiomodified nucleosides, located at first position of tRNAs anticodon, may constitute a primary target for oxidative attack under conditions of oxidative stress. Desulfuration of 2-thiouridine (S2U) was investigated in the H-1 NMR scale in the presence of 100 mM H2O2 and phosphate buffer in the physiological pH range, from pH 6.6 to 7.6. The obtained data demonstrate an intriguing result that within one unit of the pH range uridine is the major product of the S2U desulfuration in the pH 7.6, while the 4-pyrimidinone nucleoside (H2U) is dominant in pH 6.6. The possible desulfuration pathway and the biological importance of the transformation of S2U either to U or H2U are discussed in the context of the tRNA oxidative damage. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
