We previously found that overexpression of arginine tRNA(CCG) from Brevibacterium albidum complements the rnpA49 mutation, which is responsible for the thermosensitivity of Escherichia coli RNase P function. In this present work, we show that the E. coli homologue tRNA also complements the same mutation, but other tRNAs do not. These results suggest that the rnpA49 mutation causes a major cellular defect in an RNase P reaction to generate the mature arginine tRNA(CCG).
我们之前发现,来自白色短杆菌的精氨酸tRNA(CCG)的过表达可弥补rnpA49突变,该突变导致大肠杆菌核糖核酸酶P功能的温度敏感性。在本研究中,我们表明大肠杆菌同源tRNA也能弥补相同的突变,但其他tRNA则不能。这些结果表明,rnpA49突变在核糖核酸酶P反应中产生成熟精氨酸tRNA(CCG)时导致了主要的细胞缺陷。
