The nucleotide sequence of a major species of leucine tRNA from bovine liver.

Abstract

Through the use of a variety of post-labeling techniques, the nucleotide sequence of a major species of leucine tRNA from bovine liver was determined to be pG-G-U-A-G-C-G-U-G-m-G-C-ac-C-G-A-G-C-G-G-D-C-psi-A-A-G-G-C-m-G-C-U-G-G-A-psim- U-I-A-G-m-G-C-psi-C-C-A-G-U-C-psi-C-psi-U-C-G-G-G-G-G-m-C-G-U-G-G-G-T-psi-C-G-m -A-A-U-C-C-C-A-C-C-G-C-U-G-C-C-A-C-C-AOH. A comparison of known sequences of leucine tRNAs shows a consistent set of features which clearly distinguish prokaryotic and eukaryotic leucine tRNAs from each other.
