The nucleotide sequences of two species of tyrosine accepting tRNA from the eukaryotic green alga Scenedesmus obliquus have been determined. The sequence of the cytoplamic tRNATyr is: pC-C-C-C-U-U-G-U-A-G-C-U-C-A-G-D-D-Gm-G-C-A-G-A-G-C-m
G-G-G-A-G-A-C-U-G-
-A-m1G-A-
-C-U-C-U-A-G-m7
-C-A-C-U-G-G-T-
-C-G-m1A-A-U-C-C-G-G-U-C-G-A-G-G-G-G-A-C-C-A-OH and that of the chloroplast tRNATyr is: pG-G-G-C-C-G-A-U-G-C-C-G-A-A-G-U-
-Gm-G-D-U-A-A-U-G-G-G-G-C-G-G-A-
-U-G-U-A-(i6 A/ms2i6 A)-A-
-C-C-G-C-U-G-G-U-U-A-C-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-U-U-G-G-T-
-C-G-A-A-U-C-C-G-A-C-U-C-G-G-C-C-C-A-C-C-A-OH. This is the first chloroplast tRNATyr species to be sequenced.
