Isolation and structure of a yeast initiator tRNAmet gene.

A Venegas, E Gonzalez, P Bull, P Valenzuela
PMCID: PMC326223  PMID: 6278434

Abstract

Sixteen bacterial clones containing yeast initiator tRNAmet genes have been isolated. The size of the BamHI fragments encoding these genes ranges from 4,000 to 23,000 base pairs. The nucleotide sequence of one member of this group has been determined. It has no intervening sequences.
