Abstract excerpt
Here we report the construction of a yeast genetic screen designed to identify essential residues in tRNA(Arg). The system consists of a tRNA(Arg) knockout strain and a set of vectors designed to rescue and select for variants of tRNA(Arg). By plasmid shuffling we selected inactive tRNA mutants that were further analyzed by northern blotting. The mutational analysis focused on the tRNA D and anticodon loops that...
