Transfer ribonucleic acid-mediated suppression of termination codons in Escherichia coli.
The universal genetic code includes three codons which signal polypeptide chain termination. These termination or nonsense codons are UAG (amber), UAA (ochre), and UGA (opal). Usually, Escherichia coli and other procaryotic cells do not contain transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs) which recognize these codons. However, such tRNAs can be created by suppressor mutations in tRNA genes, generating tR...
متن کاملSuppression of glutamic acid codons by mutant glycine transfer ribonucleic acid.
In previous mutational studies with mutant trpA46 (Gly [GGA] --> Glu [GAA] at position 211 of the tryptophan synthetase alpha chain) of Escherichia coli, no missense suppressors were detected. Such suppressors have now been obtained by single mutations in gly Vins, the structural gene for a GGA/G-reading, mutationally altered form of gly V transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) (tRNA(Gly) which reads...
متن کاملGlutamyl Transfer Ribonucleic Acid Synthetase of Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli glutamyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase acylates the three homologous tRNAGIU isoacceptors with very similar K, values (2.4 to 4.6 X lop7 M). The pure enzyme forms a 1: 1 complex with its cognate tRNA as judged by gradient centrifugation and fluorescence-quenching studies. The biological specificity of complex formation is not strictly observed in vitro since fluorescence...
متن کاملUnusual valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase mutant of Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli strain NP2907 was isolated as a spontaneous mutant of strain NP29, which possesses a thermolabile valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase. The valyl-tRNA synthetase of the new mutant, unlike that of its immediate parent, retains enzymatic activity in vitro but differs from the wild-type enzyme in stability and apparent K(m) for adenosine triphosphate. The new mutant l...
متن کاملThe arginyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Escherichia coli.
The arginyl transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase of Escherichia coli has been purified over SO&fold. Its kinetic properties are similar to those of other amino acidactivating enzymes; it has a pH optimum near 8 and does not react with amino acids that occur in proteins other than arginine, but the analogues homoarginine and canavanine are competitive inhibitors, and canavanine can be est...
