Reversed phase chromatography of isoaccepting tRNA's from healthy and crown gall tissues from Nicotiana tabacum
Laboratoire de Cytogénétique, Institut Carnoy 4, place de la Croix du Sud, 1348 Louvain-la Neuve, Belgium
Received May 20, 1975. RPC 5 (Reversed Phase Chromatography)1 of aminoacyl-tRNA's from healthy and crown gall (induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain B6) tobacco tissues were compared for eleven amino acids.
For ten amino acids: alanine,arginine,glutamic acid,glycine, isoleucine,leucine,lysine.methionine.tyrosine,and valine, no qualitative or quantitative differences could be detected between aminoacyl-tRNA's from both sources.
Phenylalanyl-tRNA's from crown gall tissues gave two peaks on RPC 5;the minor early eluting species (peak 1) was always absent in elution profiles of phenylalanyl-tRNA's from healthy tissues or from tobacco leaves.
After the "Y" base was removed by pH 2.9 treatment2 ,peak 2 of phenylalanine tRNA was shifted to the position of peak 1.
