Transfer RNAs for primordial amino acids contain remnants of a primitive code at position 3 to 5.

Abstract:

:Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of 1,400 transfer RNAs has revealed the imprint of a prototypic genetic code in position 3-4-5 of the acceptor stem. It appears only in the transfer RNAs for the primordial amino acids ie those found by chemical condensation of a nitrogen-methane-water-ammonia mixture. The model for primitive protein synthesis as mentioned by Crick assumes a direct interaction between the amino acid and a prototypic adaptor oligonucleotide. This has hitherto appeared irreconcilable with the large spatial separation between the aminoacylation site and the anticodon in present day transfer RNAs. The observations reported here show how this paradox can be resolved by a process of duplication and cleavage of a prototypic adaptor.

  • An apparent conformational change in tRNA(Phe) that is associated with the peptidyl transferase reaction.

    abstract::Fluorescence techniques were used to detect changes in the conformation of tRNA(Phe) that may occur during the peptidyl transferase reaction in which the tRNA appears to move between binding sites on ribosomes. Such a conformational change may be a fundamental part of the translocation mechanism by which tRNA and mRNA...
