Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the exchange of the discriminator base A73 of human tRNA(Leu) for G is alone sufficient to achieve complete loss of leucine acceptance and to create an efficient serine acceptor. The reverse identity switch, however, which was studied using T7 RNA polymerase transcripts of in vitro mutagenized tRNA genes, reveals a far more complex pattern of identity elements for tRNA(Leu)....
