Functional compensation of a recognition-defective transfer RNA by a distal base pair substitution.
Biochemistry - 27 Oct 1992

Abstract excerpt
A single G3:U70 base pair in the acceptor helix is the major determinant of alanine acceptance in alanine transfer RNAs. Transfer of this base pair into other transfer RNAs confers alanine acceptance. A G3:C70 substitution eliminates alanine acceptance in vivo and in vitro. In this work, a population of mutagenized G3:C70 alanine tRNA amber suppressors was subjected to a selection for mutations that compensate...
