Comparison of substrate base sequences for RNA ligase reactions in the synthesis of a tetradecanucleotide corresponding to bases 21-34 of E. coli tRNAfMet 1. 1980

E Ohtsuka, and T Doi, and H Uemura, and Y Taniyama, and M Ikehara

A tetradecanucleotide U-A-G-C(U-C-G)2G-G-C-Up corresponding to bases 21-34 of a nascent sequence of formylmethionyl tRNA of E. coli has been synthesized by the joining of two combinations of chemically synthesized oligonucleotides: 1) U-A-G-C + U-C-G-U-C-G + G-G-C-Up and 2) U-A-G-C + U-C-G-U + C-G-G-G-C-Up. In reaction 1) and the extent of joining *pG-G-C-Up to U-C-G-U-C-G was only 15.4% and the last ligation of the decamer to U-A-G-U proceeded to 27%. In reaction 2) joining between U-A-G-C and pU-C-G-Up gave a high yield (88%). The ligation of this octamer and *pC-G-G-G-C-Up also gave a satisfactory yield (52%). These reactions suggest that sequence preferences in RNA ligase reactions may arise from the structure of the 3'-end of acceptor molecules.

D009843 Oligoribonucleotides A group of ribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties.
D011118 Polynucleotide Ligases Catalyze the joining of preformed ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides in phosphodiester linkage during genetic processes. EC 6.5.1. Polynucleotide Synthetases,Ligases, Polynucleotide,Synthetases, Polynucleotide
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.
