Cloning and nucleotide sequence analysis of transfer RNA genes from Mycoplasma mycoides

T Samuelsson et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

As part of an investigation of the tRNA genes of Mycoplasma mycoides, two HindIII fragments of mycoplasma DNA comprising 0.4 and 2.5 kilobases (kb), respectively, were cloned in pBR322 and their nucleotide sequences determined. Only one tRNA gene was found in the 0.4 kb fragment, the gene for tRNAArg with the anticodon TCT, while the 2.5 kb fragment contained nine different tRNA genes arranged in a cluster which presumably constitutes a transcriptional unit. The clustered tRNA genes, with their respective anticodons, were as follows: Arg (ACG), Pro (TGG), Ala (TGC), Met (CAT), Ile (CAT), Ser (TGA), fMet (CAT), Asp (GTC), and Phe (GAA).
