The association between Trp-tRNA and Pro-tRNA, which have complementary anticodon sequences, has been used as a probe of anticodon conformation. It is unaffected, however, by the base change in the D-stem present in UGA-suppressor Trp-tRNA. This does not support the hypothesis that UGA suppression depends upon a conformational change induced in the anticodon. The stable denatured form of wild-type Trp-tRNA no longer interacts with Pro-tRNA; the structure of the anticodon region must therefore be quite different in the denatured form.
具有互补反密码子序列的色氨酸转运RNA(Trp-tRNA)和脯氨酸转运RNA(Pro-tRNA)之间的关联已被用作反密码子构象的探针。然而,它不受UGA抑制型色氨酸转运RNA中D茎碱基变化的影响。这并不支持UGA抑制依赖于反密码子中诱导的构象变化这一假设。野生型色氨酸转运RNA的稳定变性形式不再与脯氨酸转运RNA相互作用;因此,反密码子区域的结构在变性形式中必然有很大不同。
