Abstract
The aminoacyl-tRNA population of human reticulocytes has been examined. These studies include: 1) determination of the levels of amino acid acceptance for 20 aminoacyl-tRNAs; 2) comparison of 20 aminoacyl-tRNAs from human reticulocytes to those of rabbit reticulocytes by reverse phase chromatography; 3) comparison of the levels of Ile- and Leu-tRNAs in fetal and adult reticulocytes; and 4) determination of the codon recognition properties of human Ala-, Asn-, His-, Leu-, Thr-, and Val-tRNAs. These studies provide evidence that the aminoacyl-tRNA population of human reticulocytes is adapted to the requirements of protein synthesis.Entities:
