Abstract excerpt
The tRNALys-specific anticodon nuclease exists in latent form in Escherichia coli strains containing the optional prr locus. The latency is a result of a masking interaction between the anticodon nuclease core-polypeptide PrrC and the Type IC DNA restriction-modification enzyme EcoprrI. Activation of the latent enzyme by phage T4-infection elicits cleavage of tRNALys 5' to the wobble base, yielding 5'-OH and 2',...
