Nucleotide sequence of Escherichia coli tyrosine transfer ribonucleic acid

The nucleotide sequence of one of the Escherichia coli tyrosine-transfer ribonucleic acids was determined in order to compare its sequence with that of yeast tyrosine-transfer ribonucleic acid. Forty-four positions of both transfer ribonucleic acids are occupied by the same nucleotides if they are arranged in the manner shown here. The information obtained suggests that the conformation of transfer ribonucleic acid molecules may be a greater contributing factor than a specific nucleotide sequence in the interaction of transfer ribonucleic acid with its corresponding aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase.     

Codon recognition by enzymatically mischarged valine transfer ribonucleic acid

Direct evidence for the adaptor hypothesis has been obtained by examining the codon recognition of a purified Escherichia coli valine transfer ribonucleic acid which was enzymatically mischarged with phenylalanine labeled with carbn-14 by reaction with purified phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase from Neurospora crassa. The mischarged transfer ribonucleic acid recognized the valine codons but failed to recognize the phenylalanine codon when tested in trinucleotide-directed ribosomal binding assay.     

Aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases from cell-free extract of Plasmodium berghei

Aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases for leucine tyrosine, histidine, valine, proline, threonine, and lysine were obtainnned from cell-free extract of Plasmodium berghei. The leucyl-tRNA synthetase cane charge tRNA from liver or Escherichia coli with leucine-c(14), liver tRNA being a better substrate. The amount of aminoacylation increses linerly with respect to the quantity of tRNA added from either source and is dependent on the amount of enzyme added. The rate of aminoacylation is constant for 10 minutes and then decreases. It is enhanced by polyvinylsulfate. One-tenth millimoler pyrimethamine, hydroxystilbamidine, quinacrine, and acriflavine inhibited the formation of C(14)-valyl-tRNA. Species specificity between tRNA and its charging enzyme with respect to the recognition site is discussed.     

Sulfur: incorporation into the transfer fraction of soluble ribonucleic acid

When S(35)-labeled soluble RNA from Escherichia coli K 38 is subjected to gel filtration, four fractions of RNA are obtained by elution. Only one RNA fraction, the transfer RNA, contains sulfur, presumably as thionucleotides. Treatment with ribonuclease suggests that the incorporated sulfur is an integral part of the polynucleotide chain; digestion with alkali yields a mixture of products containing sulfur, the major one being eluted in a position similar to uridine diphosphate upon Dowex-l chromatography. Analysis by countercurrent distribution of S(35)-labeledtransfer RNA from E. coli B reveals that the incorporated sulfur is found in many RNA's that accept amino acids, but the possibility remains that not all acceptor RNA's contain sulfur.     

Sulfur-containing nucleoside from yeast transfer ribonucleic acid: 2-thio-5(or 6)-uridine acetic acid methyl ester

A nucleoside, isolated from yeast transfer RNA, has been assigned the structure 2-thio-5-uridine acetic acid methyl ester on the basis of high-esolution mass spectrometry, chemical properties, and ultraviolet spectra. The alternate 6-substituted isomeric structure cannot yet be completely ruled out.     

Nucleotide sequence of a lysine transfer ribonucleic Acid from bakers' yeast

The nucleotide sequence of one of the two major lysine transfer RNA's from bakers' yeast has been determined. Its structure is compared to that of a lysine tRNA from a haploid yeast. A total of 21 nucleotides differ in the two molecules. Only the T-psi-C-G (thymidine-pseudouridine-cytidine-guanosine) loop and its supporting stem are identical.     

Specific inhibition of viral ribonucleic acid replication by Gliotoxin

Gliotoxin inhibits intracellular replication of poliovirus in HeLa cells at a stage subsequent to adsorption and penetration of virus. The sensitive step is synthesis of viral RNA: synthesis of viral protein is unaffected except as a consequence of blockade of RNA synthesis. Concentrations of gliotoxin sufficient to block viral RNA synthesis completely do not affect cellular RNA synthesis.     

Mediation of immunity to tumor isografts in mice by heterologous ribonucleic acid

The growth of tumor isografts in inbred mice is inhibited by intra-peritoneal injections of syngeneic spleen incubated, in vitro, with ribonucleic acid extracted from guinea pigs immunized with the same mouse tumor. This inhibition is partially tumor-specific. Treatment with ribonuclease abolishes the response.     

Pyrophosphate in the 5' terminal position of a viral ribonucleic acid

A pancreatic ribonuclease digest of carbon-14-labeled Satellite Tobacco Necrosis Virus RNA was fractionated, according to charge, by column chromatography. Individual fractions were dephosphorylated with alkaline phosphomonoesterase and rechromatogramed. The fraction originally containing oligonucleotides with seven negative charges separated into two components corresponding to five and two negative charges, respectively, and therefore must have contained a terminal trinucleotide 5'-pyrophosphate, in addition to the internal hexanucleotides. Other fractions when similarly treated were found to contain only internal oligonucleotides.     

Facilitation of infection of monkey cells with poliovirus "ribonucleic acid"

The plaque titer of poliovirus "ribonucleic acid" on monkey kidney cells cultured in vitro is greatly increased by depleting these cells of calcium and treating the "ribonucleic acid" inoculum with a suspension of any one of several poorly water-soluble substances before inoculation. These undissolved substances apparently facilitate infection by serving as solid vehicles for the "ribonucleic acid."
