We have examined the interaction between phosphoribosyltransferase and purified tRNA-His from the wild type strain of Salmonella typhimurium, LT-2, and the histidine regulatory mutant hisTl504. Histidyl-tRNA from the mutant strain functions normally in protein synthesis but is defective in its role in the repression mechanism of the histidine operon. Phosphoribosyltransferase has been suggested as a possible aporegulator for this operon and as such might be expected to interact abnormally with tRNA-His from hisT1504. In these studies we have been unable to detect any difference between the affinities of phosphoribosyltransferase for tRNA-His from LT-2 or hisT1504, and thus we conclude that if the complex between phosphoribosyltransferase and histidyl-tRNA does function in regulation, the defect in the hisT1504 mutant must influence the interaction of the complex with some other regulatory element.

D012343 RNA, Transfer The small RNA molecules, 73-80 nucleotides long, that function during translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC) to align AMINO ACIDS at the RIBOSOMES in a sequence determined by the mRNA (RNA, MESSENGER). There are about 30 different transfer RNAs. Each recognizes a specific CODON set on the mRNA through its own ANTICODON and as aminoacyl tRNAs (RNA, TRANSFER, AMINO ACYL), each carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome to add to the elongating peptide chains.
