| Abstract |
Using synthetic oligonucleotides, we have constructed a collection of Escherichia coli amber suppressor tRNA genes. In order to determine their specificities, these tRNAs were each used to suppress an amber (UAG) nonsense mutation in the E. coli dihydrofolate reductase gene fol. The mutant proteins were purified and subjected to N-terminal sequence analysis to determine which amino acid had been inserted by the suppressor tRNAs at the position of the amber codon. The suppressors can be classified into three groups on the basis of the protein sequence information. Class I suppressors, tRNA(CUAAla2), tRNA(CUAGly1), tRNA(CUAHisA), tRNA(CUALys) and tRNA(CUAProH), inserted the predicted amino acid. The class II suppressors, tRNA(CUAGluA), tRNA(CUAGly2) and tRNA(CUAIle1) were either partially or predominantly mischarged by the glutamine aminoacyl tRNA synthetase. The class III suppressors, tRNA(CUAArg), tRNA(CUAAspM), tRNA(CUAIle2), tRNA(CUAThr2), tRNA(CUAMet(m)) and tRNA(CUAVal) inserted predominantly lysine. |
