Abstract

RECENT studies have shown that the RNA (mol wt 2 × 106) of turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) possesses at its 3′ end a structure similar to that of a tRNA. This is deduced from the fact that in the presence of valyl-tRNA synthetase, the 3′ end of TYMV RNA can be acylated with valine1,2. This RNA is also recognized by the tRNA nucleotidyltransferase3 and by the peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase2,4. Similar observations have been reported with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA which can be charged with histidine5,6 or with either methionine or serine7, and brome mosaic virus (BMV) RNA with tyrosine (Hall, Shih and Kaesberg, in the press).
