Novel anticodon composition of transfer RNAs in Micrococcus luteus, a bacterium with a high genomic G + C content. Correlation with codon usage.

Abstract excerpt

The number and relative amount of isoacceptor tRNAs for each amino acid in Micrococcus luteus, a Gram-positive bacterium with high genomic G + C content, have been determined by sequencing their anticodon loop and its adjacent regions and by selective labelling of tRNAs. Thirty-one tRNA species with 29 different anticodon sequences have been detected. All the tRNAs have G or C at the anticodon first position...
