The artificial amber suppressor corresponding to the major isoleucine tRNA from yeast (pVBt5), when expressed in E. coli, is a poor suppressor of the amber mutation lacIam181-Z. By analysing mutant forms, we could show that this was due to the presence of a U30-G40 wobble pair in the anticodon stem of the yeast tRNA and not to the level of the heterologously expressed tRNA. Efficient suppressors were obtained by restoring a normal U30-A40 or G30-C40 Watson-Crick pair. In vivo the mutant forms are exclusively charged by the bacterial lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS), whereas the original yeast amber tRNA is charged at a low level by E. coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) and LysRS. The inversion of the U30-G40 pair also induces a loss of the Gln identity. We conclude from these experiments that the U30-G40 base pair constitutes a negative determinant for LysRS interaction which operates either at the level of complex formation or at the catalytic step. As no direct contacts are seen between GlnRS and positions 30-40 of the complexed homologous tRNA, the U30-G40 pair of pVBt5 is believed to influence aminoacylation by GlnRS indirectly, probably at the level of the anticodon loop conformation by favouring an optimal apposition of the anticodon nucleotides with the protein.
