Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcription of the yeast Ty1 retrotransposon is primed by tRNAi(Met) base paired to the primer binding site near the 5'-end of Ty1 genomic RNA. To understand the molecular basis of the tRNAi(Met)-Ty1 RNA interaction the secondary structure of the binary complex was analysed. Enzymatic probes were used to test the conformation of tRNAi(Met) and of Ty1 RNA in the free form and in the complex. A secondary...
