Abstract excerpt
The bacterial tRNA(Lys)-specific PrrC-anticodon nuclease cleaves its natural substrate 5' to the wobble base, yielding 2',3'-cyclic phosphate termini. Previous work has implicated the anticodon of tRNA(Lys) as a specificity element and a cluster of amino acid residues at the carboxy-proximal half of PrrC in its recognition. We further examined these assumptions by assaying unmodified and hypomodified derivatives...
