摘要: Abstract The minor base 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine (acp3U) in Escherichia coli tRNAPhe was acylated with the N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of acetic, phenoxy-acetic, and naphthoxyacetic acid, as well ester 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl (dansyl)-glycine. derivatives formed were all capable accepting phenylalanine. There only effects on kinetic parameters these for E. phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase. no effect ability to participate poly(U)- or poly(ACU)-directed polypeptide synthesis poly(U)-stimulated binding ribosomes. rate photodynamic cross-linking 4-Srd 8 Cyd 13 decreased tRNAs containing acetyl dansyl-glycyl acp3U, indicating that acylation this may perturb tertiary structure tRNA. This does not appear play any role known biological functions tRNAPhe.
