Patterns of codon recognition by isoacceptor aminoacyl-tRNAs from wheat germ.

چکیده
Isoacceptors of Ala-, Arg-, Glu-, Gln-, Ile-, Leu-, Lys-, Ser-, Thr- and Val-tRNAs from wheat germ have been resolved by reverse phast chromatography. Codon recognition properties have been determined on isolated fractions of each of these aa-tRNAs and codon assignments have been made to a number of isoacceptors. Evolutionary changes which have occurred in patterns of codon recognition by isoacceptor aa-tRNAs in wheat germ and other organisms are discussed.

Codon Recognition
Isoacceptors of Physarum polycephalum Ala-, Arg-, Glu-, Gln-, Gly-, Ile-, Leu-, Lys-, Ser-, Thr-, and Val-tRNAs were resolved by reverse-phase chromatography and isolated, and their codon recognition properties were determined in a ribosomal binding assay. Codon assignments were made to most isoacceptors, and they are summarized along with those determined in other studies from Escherichia coli...
متن کاملWheat cytoplasmic arginine tRNA isoacceptor with a U*CG anticodon is an efficient UGA suppressor in vitro.
Many RNA viruses express part of their genomic information by read-through over internal termination codons. We have recently characterized tobacco cytoplasmic (cyt) and chloroplast (chl) tRNACmCATrp and tRNAGCACys as natural suppressor tRNAs that are able to read the leaky UGA codon in RNA-1 of tobacco rattle virus, albeit with different efficiencies. Here we have identified a third natural UG...
متن کاملEffect of diet on the queuosine family of tRNAs of germ-free mice.
The transfer RNAs for aspartic acid, asparagine, histidine, and tyrosine respond to codons in the third column of the genetic code and contain a hypermodified nucleoside known as queuosine (Q) in the first position of the anticodon of the major isoacceptor tRNA. Nothing is known about the physiological or biochemical function of Q. Germ-free mice were maintained for a period of nine tRNA half-l...
متن کاملEffect of trypsin modification of the Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu on the ternary complex with aminoacyl-tRNA.
The ribonuclease resistance assay has been used to probe the effect of trypsin modification of the Escherichia coli elongation factor Tu X GTP on the interaction with E. coli aminoacyl-tRNAs. First, the equilibrium dissociation constant of the trypsin-modified Tu X GTP X Thr-tRNA complex was determined to be 2.3 (0.1) X 10(-5)M at 4 degrees C, pH 7.4. Second, binding of 17 of 20 noninitiator am...
متن کاملYeast mitochondrial threonyl-tRNA synthetase recognizes tRNA isoacceptors by distinct mechanisms and promotes CUN codon reassignment.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) ensure faithful translation of mRNA into protein by coupling an amino acid to a set of tRNAs with conserved anticodon sequences. Here, we show that in mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a single aaRS (MST1) recognizes and aminoacylates two natural tRNAs that contain anticodon loops of different size and sequence. Besides a regular tRNA(2Thr) with a thre...
