Abstract: | A sensitive method is described that detects an alteration in the structure of tRNA that is caused by cadmium but not by magnesium or zinc ions. The chromatographic system, RPC-5, separates Drosophila tyrosyl-tRNA into two fractions. These two isoacceptors differ by a single position in the anticodon where either a guanosine or queuine resides. Cadmium ions apparently interact with the tRNA and prevent the chromatographic separation. This is the first instance where cadmium is shown to cause a selective change in nucleic acid structure. The RPC-5 system seems to be uniquely useful in detecting such a change. |
