In yeast, inosine (I) is found at position 34 of 7 different isoacceptor tRNA species. Using as substrates in vitro T7-transcripts of 31 plasmids carrying each natural or synthetic tRNA gene harbouring an anticodon with A-34, we have characterised a yeast enzyme that catalyses the conversion of A-34 to I-34. The base conversion occurs by a hydrolytic deamination-type reaction. This newly characterised tRNA:A-34 deaminase was partially purified from yeast. 1, record 1, English, - isoacceptor%20tRNA

Tenant compte de ces faits, nous avons recherché les éléments d'identité responsables de l'arginylation spécifique chez la levure, en étudiant in vitro, les propriétés d'arginylation de toute une série de transcrits dérivés de l'ARNt-Asp, considéré comme un isoaccepteur pour l'arginine. En parallèle des expériences similaires ont été réalisées avec des transcrits dérivés de l'ARNt-Arg. 1, record 1, French, - ARNt%20isoaccepteur

transfer RNA. A class of small RNA's, each containing about 80 nucleotides. A tRNA molecules has two functional sites. At one of these sites, an activating enzyme adds a specific amino acid. The other functional site carries the anticodon specific for that amino acid. Each type of tRNA transfers one particular amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain as specified by the nucleotide sequence of the messenger RNA being translated. 4, record 2, English, - transfer%20RNA
