An analysis of the aminoacylation kinetics of unmodified yeast tRNAPhe mutants revealed that five single-stranded nucleotides are important for its recognition by yeast phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase, provided they were positioned correctly in a properly folded tRNA structure. When four other tRNAs were changed to have these five nucleotides, they became near-normal substrates for the enzyme.
对未修饰的酵母苯丙氨酸转运核糖核酸(tRNAPhe)突变体的氨酰化动力学分析表明,五个单链核苷酸对于酵母苯丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶识别它很重要,前提是它们在正确折叠的tRNA结构中位置正确。当其他四种转运核糖核酸改变为具有这五个核苷酸时,它们就成为该酶近乎正常的底物。
