Yeast valine tRNA1 was chemically modified with chlorambucil N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. tthe reagent was attached covalently to the valine residue of valyl-tRNA1Val under the conditions which prevented tRNA from alkylation. Chlorambucilyl-valyl-tRNA1Val thus obtained was separated from excess reagent and incubated in an aqueous solution at neutral pH in the presence of Mg++ions. Highly efficient intramolecular self-alkylation of chlorambucilyl-valyl-tRNA1Val took place. The chlorambucil residue bound covalently to the amino group of the valine residue of tRNA1Val alkylates the 5'-terminal phosphate group of the molecule, and its 3'-terminal sequence -A-C-C-A.
酵母缬氨酸tRNA1用苯丁酸氮芥N - 羟基琥珀酰亚胺酯进行化学修饰。该试剂在防止tRNA烷基化的条件下共价连接到缬氨酰 - tRNA1Val的缬氨酸残基上。由此得到的苯丁酸氮芥酰 - 缬氨酰 - tRNA1Val与过量试剂分离,并在中性pH的水溶液中、Mg++离子存在下孵育。苯丁酸氮芥酰 - 缬氨酰 - tRNA1Val发生了高效的分子内自烷基化。与tRNA1Val的缬氨酸残基的氨基共价结合的苯丁酸氮芥残基使该分子的5'-末端磷酸基团及其3'-末端序列 -A-C-C-A烷基化。
