Abstract excerpt
Formylation of the initiator tRNA is essential for normal growth of Escherichia coli. The initiator tRNA containing the U35A36 mutation (CUA anticodon) initiates from UAG codon. However, an additional mutation at position 72 (72A --> G) renders the tRNA (G72/U35A36) inactive in initiation because it is defective in formylation. In this study, we isolated U1G72/U35A36 tRNA containing a wobble base pair at 1-72...
