Chemically synthesized fragments corresponding to the 3' end of tRNAfMet from Escherichia coli were joined by T4-induced RNA ligase to yield a heptadecanucleotide (bases 61--77). The 3' terminus of C-C-A was modified by introduction of the ethoxymethylidene group to prevent intra- and intermolecular self-joining reactions at the 3' end. The terminal trimer was phosphorylated using polynucleotide kinase and joined to C-A-A with RNA ligase. The hexamer [C-A-A-C-C-A(ethoxymethylidene)] corresponding to bases 72--77 was obtained in a yield of 60%. An undecanucleotide (bases 61--71) which had been synthesized in a yield of 34% by similar enzymatic joining of U-C-C-G-G to pC-C-C-C-C-G was allowed to react with the 5'-phosphorylated hexamer (bases 72--77) using an excess of RNA ligase to yield the heptadecanucleotide U-C-C-G-G-C-C-C-C-C-G-C-A-A-C-C-A (bases 61--77). The product was identified by homochromatography and nearest neighbor analysis.

D011130 RNA Ligase (ATP) An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of linear RNA to a circular form by the transfer of the 5'-phosphate to the 3'-hydroxyl terminus. It also catalyzes the covalent joining of two polyribonucleotides in phosphodiester linkage. EC 6.5.1.3. Polyribonucleotide Synthetase,tRNA Ligase,Ligase, tRNA,Synthetase, Polyribonucleotide
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

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.
