Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli argU gene encodes a rare arginine tRNA (anticodon UCU) that translates the similarly rare AGA codon. The argU10(Ts) mutation is a transition that changes the first nucleotide of the mature tRNA from G to A, presumably destabilizing the acceptor stem. This mutation, when present in haploid condition in the chromosome, reduces the growth rate at 30 degrees C and results in cessation of growth...
