A lysine tRNA (
) was purified from Bacillus subtilis W168 by a consequtive use of several column chromatographic systems. The nucleotide sequence was determined to be pG-A-G-C-C-A-U-U-A-G-C-U-C-A-G-U-D-G-G-D-A-G-A-G-C-A-U-C-U-G-A-C-U-U(U*)-U-U-K-A-Y-C-A-G-A-G-G-m7G(G)-U-C-G-A-A-G-G-T- Y-C-G-A-G-U-C-C-U-U-C-A-U-G-G-C-U-C-A-C-C-AOH, where K and U* are unidentified nucleosides. The nucleosides of U34 and m7G46 were partially substituted with U* and G, respectively. The binding ability of lysyl-
to Eecherichia coli ribosomes was stimulated with ApApA as well as ApApG.
