Abstract

The phenylalanine tRNA from the cytoplasm of Neurospora crassa has been purified and sequenced. The sequence is: pGCGGGUUUAm2GCUCA (N) GDDGGGAGAGCm22GpsiCAGACmUGmAAYApsim5CUGAAGm7GDm5CGUGUGTpsiCGm1AUCCACACAAACCGCACCAOH. Both in the nature of modified nucleotides which are present in this tRNA and in the overall sequence, this tRNA resembles more closely phenylalanine tRNAs of eukaryotic cytoplasm than those of prokaryotes. The sequence of this tRNA differs from those of the corresponding tRNAs of wheat germ and yeast by only 6 and 7 nucleotides respectively out of 76 nucleotides.U
