Recognition of individual Escherichia coli transfer ribonucleic acids by 1-adenine-specific methyltransferase from rat liver.

J Kraus
PMCID: PMC1184215  PMID: 343782

Abstract

Purified 1-adenine-specific tRNA methyltransferase from rat liver preferentially methylated Escherichia coli tRNA species containing the target adenylate residue in a G-T-psi-C-G-A-A-U-C sequence. The results of methylation of various tRNA species are discussed.
