Functional aspects of tRNA from the extreme halophile, Halobacterium cutirubrum

1.1. tRNA from Halobacterium cutirubrum has been examined to determine if it has been especially modified for the extremely high internal salt concentration of this bacterium.2.2. The codon recognition of aminoacyl-tRNA from Escherichia coli and H. cutirubrum was the same in assay systems from both bacteria.3.3. Aminoacyl-tRNA from both bacteria was recognized by the heterologous transferases and ribosomes in ionic environments normally foreign …
