Abstract: | Transfer RNAs isolated from yellow lupin seeds were screened for tRNA dependent nonsense suppression in Xenopus laevis oocyte system. No opal (UGA) suppressor activity could be detected. However, a tRNATyr isoacceptor species stimulates readthrough of the leaky UAG tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-RNA stop codon. This natural suppressor tRNA was purified to homogeneity and its sequence was determined to be: pC---C---g--- A---C---C---U---U---A---m2G---c---U---C---A---G---D---G---Gm--- G---U---A---G---A---G---Cm22G---G---A---G---G---A---C---U---G--- ψ---A---m1G---A---ψ---C---C---U---U---A---G---m7G---acp3U---C--- A---C---U---G---G---U---ψ---C---G---m1A---A---Uz.sbnd;C---C---G--- G---U---A---G---G---U---C---G---G---A---C---C---AOH. The GψA anticodon seqeunce, the presence of the modified nucleoside 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine (acp3U) in the extra loo p and the absence of ribothymidine are of special interest. |
