A 75-unit long oligoribonucleotide corresponding to the sequence of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae initiator tRNA was synthesized chemically. The crude RNA was purified, and the sequence was verified by RNA sequencing techniques. A particularly useful purification step involved hydrophobic chromatography on BND-cellulose. The purified RNA could be aminoacylated to 28% of a bona fide initiator tRNA(Met) sample and threonylated to 76% of the level observed with native tRNA(fMet) from E. coli.
化学合成了一段与酿酒酵母起始tRNA序列相对应的75个单位长的寡核糖核苷酸。对粗RNA进行了纯化,并通过RNA测序技术验证了序列。一个特别有用的纯化步骤涉及在BND-纤维素上进行疏水层析。纯化后的RNA可被氨酰化至真实起始tRNA(Met)样品的28%,并被苏氨酰化至大肠杆菌天然tRNA(fMet)所观察到水平的76%。
