Fluoresceinylthiocarbamyl-tRNATyr (FTC-tRNATyr) is prepared from tRNATyr and fluoresceinisothiogyanate (FITC) under mildly alkaline conditions. Labelling occurs specificly at the base Q of tRNATyr. The modified tRNA is fully active in the aminoacylation assay; when aminoacylated it is recognized by the elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu). Codon-anticodon interaction, however, is severely affected by the modification.
荧光素硫代氨基甲酰 - tRNATyr(FTC - tRNATyr)是在温和碱性条件下由tRNATyr和异硫氰酸荧光素(FITC)制备而成。标记特异性地发生在tRNATyr的碱基Q处。修饰后的tRNA在氨酰化测定中具有完全活性;氨酰化后它能被延伸因子Tu(EF - Tu)识别。然而,密码子 - 反密码子相互作用受到修饰的严重影响。
