Specific fluorescent labeling of 7-(aminomethyl)-7-deazaguanosine located in the anticodon of tRNATyr isolated from E. coli mutant
Abstract
Under-modified E. coli tRNATyr that contains 7-(aminomethyl)-7-deazaguanosine in place of Q nucleoside can be chemically modified by dansyl chloride under neutral conditions. Fluorescent labelling specifically occurred only in the 7-(aminomethyl)-7-deazaguanine moiety. The modified tRNATyr was found to be active both in aminoacylation and in binding to ribosomes.
