Sequences of halobacterial tRNAs and the paucity of U in the first position of their anticodons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sequence of three tRNAs from Halobacterium cutirubrum have been determined. The sequences of tRNAValGAC and tRNAValCAC differ by only one nucleotide which is in the 5' terminal anticodon position. These tRNAs as well as that of tRNAAlaCGC are compared to other known halobacterial tRNAs. An observed paucity (or absence) of U in the first anticodon position is unique to archaebacterial tRNAs and may be indicative of unusual decoding properties of these organisms.

Lysine tRNAs from rat liver: lysine tRNA sequences are highly conserved.
The two major lysine tRNAs from rat liver, tRNA2Lys and tRNA5Lys, were sequenced by rapid gel or chromatogram readout methods. The major tRNA2Lys differs from a minor form only by a base pair in positions 29 and 41; both tRNAs have an unidentified nucleotide, U**, in the third position of the anticodon. Although highly related, the major tRNA2Lys and tRNA5Lys differ in four base pairs and four ...
متن کاملUnique tRNA gene profile suggests paucity of nucleotide modifications in anticodons of a deep-sea symbiotic Spiroplasma
The position 34 of a tRNA is always modified for efficient recognition of codons and accurate integration of amino acids by the translation machinery. Here, we report genomics features of a deep-sea gut symbiotic Spiroplasma, which suggests that the organism does not require tRNA(34) anticodon modifications. In the genome, there is a novel set of tRNA genes composed of 32 species for recognitio...
متن کاملThe presence of codon-anticodon pairs in the acceptor stem of tRNAs.
A total of 1268 available (excluding mitochondrial) tRNA sequences was used to reconstruct the common consensus image of their acceptor domains. Its structure appeared as a 11-bp-long double-stranded palindrome with complementary triplets in the center, each flanked by the 3'-ACCD and NGGU-5' motifs on each strand (D, base determinator). The palindrome readily extends up to the modern tRNA-like...
متن کاملNudeotide sequences of two serine tRNAs with a GGA anticodon: the structure-function relationships in the serine family of E. eoti tRNAs
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the major species of E.coli tRKA and of a minor species having the same GGA anticodon. These two tRNAs should recognize the UCC and UCU codons, the most widely used codons for serine in the highly expressed genes of E.coli. The two sequences differ in only one position of the D-loop. Neither tRNA has a modified adenosine in the position 3'-adjacent ...
متن کاملIdentified Hybrid tRNA Structure Genes in Archaeal Genome
Background: In Archaea, previous studies have revealed the presence of multiple intron-containing tRNAs and split tRNAs. The full unexpurgated analysis of archaeal tRNA genes remains a challenging task in the field of bioinformatics, because of the presence of various types of hidden tRNA genes in archaea. Here, we suggested a computational method that searched for widely separ...
