Abstract:
Spinach chloroplast tRNATrp, purified by column chromatography and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, has been sequenced using in vitro labeling techniques. The sequence is : pG-C-G-C-U-C-U-U-A-G-U-U-C-A-G-U-U-C-Gm-G-D-A-G-A-A-C-m2G-psi-G-G-G-psi-C-U-C-A-A*-A-A-C-C-C-G-A-U-G-N-C-G-U-A-G-G-T-psi-C-A-A-G-U-C-C-U-A-C-A-G-A-G-C-G-U-G -C-C-AOH. Like the E. coli suppressor tRNA psu+UGA which translates both the opal terminator codon U-G-A and the tryptophan codon U-G-G, spinach chloroplast tRNATrp has C-C-A as an anticodon and contains an A-U pair in the D-stem.
