Elongation Factor-Viral Genome Interaction dependent on the Aminoacylation of TYMV and TMV RNAs

Nature New Biology volume 241, pages 88–90 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

CLEAR evidence has been presented to show that the 3′ end of the RNA of turnip-yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) possesses a tRNA-like structure that can be specifically esterified with valine by Escherichia coli valyl-tRNA synthetase and can be recognized as a substrate by the E. coli tRNA nucleotidyl transferase1–3.
