In chloroplasts, all 61 sense codons are found in chloroplast (cp) DNA sequences coding for proteins. However among the sequenced cp tRNAs or tRNA genes, tRNAs with anticodons complementary to codons CUU/C (Leu), CCU/C (Pro), GCU/C (Ala) and CGC/A/G (Arg) [or CGC/A (Arg) in Marchantia] have not been found. In this paper we show that cp tRNA(Ala)(UGC) cp tRNA(Pro)(UGG) and cp tRNA(Arg)(ICG) are able to decode the corresponding four-codon family. In the case of leucine codons CUU/C, we show that 'U:U and U:C wobble' mechanisms can operate to allow the reading of these codons by cp tRNA(Leu)(UAm7G).
在叶绿体中,编码蛋白质的叶绿体(cp)DNA序列中存在所有61种有义密码子。然而,在已测序的cp tRNA或tRNA基因中,尚未发现其反密码子与密码子CUU/C(亮氨酸)、CCU/C(脯氨酸)、GCU/C(丙氨酸)和CGC/A/G(精氨酸)[在地钱中为CGC/A(精氨酸)]互补的tRNA。在本文中,我们表明cp tRNA(Ala)(UGC)、cp tRNA(Pro)(UGG)和cp tRNA(Arg)(ICG)能够解码相应的四密码子家族。对于亮氨酸密码子CUU/C,我们表明“U:U和U:C摆动”机制可以发挥作用,使cp tRNA(Leu)(UAm7G)能够读取这些密码子。
