Phe-tRNA Phe from yeast containing 2-thiocytidine or 5-iodocytidine in position 75 of the polynucleotide chain or Phe-tRNA Phe in which both positions 74 and 75 were substituted by 5-iodocytidine were investigated in the poly U-dependent polyphenylalanine synthesis on ribosomes from rabbit reticulocytes. Phe-tRNA Phe-Cps2CpA was nearly as active as the native Phe-tRNA Phe-CpCpA in the overall process. Phe-tRNA Phe-Cpi 5CpA as well as Phe-tRNA Phe-i5Cpi 5CpA were considerably less active than the native species. Investigation of individual steps of protein biosynthesis with these modified substrates revealed that the donor activity of peptidyl-tRNAs which contain 5-iodocytidine in their 3'-terminus is strongly imparied suggesting exacting structural requirements for the interaction of the CpCpA end of tRNA with the ribosomal P-site.
对在多核苷酸链第75位含有2 -硫代胞苷或5 -碘胞苷的酵母苯丙氨酰 - tRNAphe,或第74和75位均被5 -碘胞苷取代的苯丙氨酰 - tRNAphe,在兔网织红细胞核糖体上进行的聚U依赖性多聚苯丙氨酸合成反应中进行了研究。苯丙氨酰 - tRNAphe - Cps2CpA在整个过程中的活性几乎与天然的苯丙氨酰 - tRNAphe - CpCpA一样。苯丙氨酰 - tRNAphe - Cpi5CpA以及苯丙氨酰 - tRNAphe - i5Cpi5CpA的活性明显低于天然种类。用这些修饰底物对蛋白质生物合成的各个步骤进行研究表明,在其3' - 末端含有5 -碘胞苷的肽基 - tRNA的供体活性受到强烈损害,这表明tRNA的CpCpA末端与核糖体P位点相互作用存在严格的结构要求。
