Yeast tRNA Lys2 codes preferentially for AAA and contains a 2-thiouridine derivative (U) at the 5'-position of the anticodon. Removal of the 2-thio group from U by treatment with CNBr did not affect the amino acid accepting activity of the modified tRNA Lys2. CNBr treated tRNA Lys2 was active in protein synthesis but with a much reduced efficiency. Although the modified tRNA Lys2 was recognized by elongation factor (EF) T, the EFT dependent binding to ribosomes to tRNA Lys2 (CNBr) was markedly decreased.
酵母tRNA Lys2优先编码AAA,并且在反密码子的5'-位置含有2-硫尿苷衍生物(U)。用溴化氰处理从U上去除2-硫基并不影响修饰后的tRNA Lys2的氨基酸接受活性。经溴化氰处理的tRNA Lys2在蛋白质合成中具有活性,但效率大大降低。尽管修饰后的tRNA Lys2被延伸因子(EF)T识别,但EF-T依赖的与核糖体结合到tRNA Lys2(溴化氰处理)上的情况明显减少。
