Abstract
A stem and loop RNA domain carrying the methionine anticodon (CAU) was designed from the tRNA(fMet) sequence and produced in vitro. This domain makes a complex with methionyl-tRNA synthetase (Kd = 38(+/- 5) microM; 25 degrees C, pH 7.6, 7 mM-MgCl2). The formation of this complex is dependent on the presence of the cognate CAU anticodon sequence. Recognition of this RNA domain is abolished by a methionyl-tRNA synthetase mutation known to alter the binding of tRNA(Met).Entities:
