Conserved 5S rRNA complement to tRNA is not required for protein synthesis

B Pace et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1982 Jan.

Abstract

The notion that tRNA and 5S rRNA interact through evolutionarily conserved complementary sequences has been tested by nucleolytic modification of the 5S rRNA, using the modified rRNA to reconstitute the large ribosomal subunit, and assaying for poly(uridylic acid)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis. The 5S rRNA sequence C-G-A-A (residues 43-46) and several residues surrounding it are not essential for protein synthesis.
