In vitro study of E. coli tRNA identity elements

Abstract

Various tRNA transcripts were constructed to study the identity elements of E. coli tRNAs (Arg, Lys, Ala, Trp, Thr, Gly, Ser, Asn, Cys, His). Anticodon are involved in the identity elements in these tRNA species except the case of tRNA(Ala) and tRNA(Ser). Especially, the second and third positions of the anticodon are the recognition sites of E. coli tRNA(Arg), tRNA(Lys) and tRNA(Thr) for their cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Discriminator base is an identity determinant of the above examined tRNAs except tRNA(Thr) and tRNA(Ser). In some cases, acceptor stem (Thr, Gly, His) and variable pocket (Arg, Ala) are considered to be the recognition elements.
