The primer tRNA for Moloney murine leukemia virus DNA synthesis. Nucleotide sequence and aminoacylation of tRNAPro
Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of a tRNA primer molecule for initiation of Moloney murine leukemia virus DNA synthesis has been determined. The sequence is heterogeneous in two positions but both forms, when drawn in a cloverleaf structure, have anticodon specificities for proline. We have termed these isoacceptors tRNA1Pro and tRNA2Pro. Aminoacylation studies confirmed the specificity for proline. The two forms occur in approximately equal amounts in uninfected mouse and chicken cells and in Moloney leukemia virus particles.
