Abstract excerpt
The universally conserved 3'-terminal CCA sequence of tRNA interacts with large ribosomal subunit RNA during translation. The functional importance of the interaction between the 3'-terminal nucleotide of tRNA and the ribosome was studied in vitro using mutant in vitro transcribed tRNA(Val) A76G. Val-tRNA(CCG) does not support polypeptide synthesis on poly(GUA) as a message. However, in a co-translation system,...
