The nucleotide sequence of arginine tRNACCG from bovine liver.

The nuclotide sequence of arginine tRNA(CCG) from bovine liver was determined to be: pG-A-C-C-C-A-G-U-m(1)G-m(2)G-C-C-U-A-A-D-Gm-G-A-D-A-A-G-G-C-A-psi-C-A-G-C-Cm-U-C-C-G-m(1)G-A-G-C-U-G-G-G-G-A-D-U-G-psi-G-G-G-T-psi-C-G-m(1)A-G-U-C-C-C-A-U-C-U-G-G-G-U-C-G-C-C-A(OH). This arginine tRNA is 76 nucleotides in length with 13 modified bases and has an anticodon of CCG. The sequence of this molecule is substantially different from those of other arginine tRNAs sequenced to date and is the only arginine tRNA sequenced which would be expected to recognize the codon CGG.Images
