Abstract:
:It has previously been shown that mammalian RNA-peptidyl complexes are found in close association with tRNA, but can be separated from the bulk of the tRNA by benzoylated diethylaminoethylcellulose chromatography (Kull, F.J., and Soodak, M. (1971), Biochim. Biophys. Acta 246, l; Gadski, R.A., and Kull, F.J. (1973), Biochemistry 12, 1907). These studies also showed that under aminoacylation conditions the complex fractions were able to act as acceptors for certain amino acids and that the formation of porcine thyroid tyrosyl-complex II was particularly high. Because of this high acceptor function, and because of the importance of tyrosine to thyroid metabolism, further studies were conducted comparing some of the properties of porcine thyroid tyrosyl-complex II with those of porcine thyroid tyrosyl-tRNA. Porcine thyroid tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase was purified in excess of 200-fold and characterized. It was found that maximal aminoacylation was achieved at pH 8.1 in the presence of 150 mM KCl. The Km for tyrosine was determined to be 3.0 X 10(-6) M. The purified thyroid tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase was used under aminoacylation conditions to prepare radioactively labeled porcine thyroid tyrosyl-tRNA and tyrosyl-complex II. Comparisons made using reversed-phase column chromatography (RPC-5) showed distinct differences between the two aminoacylated species and revealed, in addition, a number of isoaccepting forms of tyrosine tRNA. Tyrosyl-complex II was also found to differ from tyrosyl-tRNA in that it is more stable to deacylation at pH 7.0 and at pH 4.4 and to degradation by ribonuclease A. In addition, tyrosyl-complex II, unlike tyrosyl-tRNA, is degraded by trypsin. Ribosomal binding studies showed that tyrosyl-complex II did not respond to the codons for tyrosine, UpApU and UpApC, whereas tyrosyl-tRNA responded to both. It is suggested that thyroid tyrosine complex II is representative of a group of related complexes that constitute the complex II fraction and that, although the complexes resemble tRNA in many respects, they have distinctly different characteristics than conventional tRNA.
